Practice is an important part of learning and improving in swim competitions. Swimmers are encouraged to attend practice as often as possible. While practice is optional, consistent attendance helps swimmers build skills, confidence, and speed in the water.
Parents are welcome to sit around the pool deck. However, we ask that you do not interrupt coaches or swimmers during practice. If you need to speak with a coach, please arrive a few minutes early or stay briefly afterward. Thank you for your support in helping our swimmers learn and grow.
First Practice is on Monday May 11th, 2026
All Thunderbolt practices will be held at the Riverbrooke neighborhood pool, at 3759 Clearbrooke Way in Duluth.
