Coaches Update - Reminders and Upcoming Events
Update from Head Coach (Interim) Victoria Chandler headcoach@dartmouthcrusaders.ca
Weather reminders:
As we are now in the midst of winter and winter weather, I wanted to remind families that all practices will run as scheduled unless a facility is closed. In this event, the cancellation will be communicated via email and social media as soon as possible. We understand that everyone's comfort level is different when it comes to travelling in inclement weather, and are happy to support the decisions individual families make.
Illness reminders:
We have been seeing a variety of illnesses pass through the training squads as of late. Families are reminded that swimmers should remain home when feeling unwell, to limit the spread of illness amongst the swimmers, as well as for the swimmers to get the rest they need when sick.
Centennial reminder:
Centennial Pool has asked us to ensure that families are not using the accessible parking spaces when dropping off or picking up swimmers, unless they are required for accessibility reasons. Additionally, families should not be using the staff parking spaces for drop off and pick up.
Facilities reminder:
Families are reminded that swimmers should not bring glass waterbottles or containers onto any pool deck. When these containers break, it is impossible to see the pieces in the water for clean up, and pools have to close when this occurs.
