New Swimmers Frequently Asked Questions:
1.
Who do I contact about joining the team, or ask questions about
the program?
- For
all swimming related questions you should contact Head Coach Stu Kukla (cbswimteam@gmail.com)
and for all financial matters you should contact Roberta Lichter (rlichter@cbsd.org
or 267 893-5709).
2. Can I try
out a couple of practices before coming to a decision?
- Yes.
Simply contact Head Coach Stu Kukla and figure out which practice group to
attend.
3. What is
the practice schedule?
- All
practices will be announced on the team calendar that is posted on the team
web site. You can either look on the full calendar when you press the
“Calendar” button, or you can see the daily schedule on the top right of the
home page for the site. Typically we have the calendar updated for months in
advance. Any short-term changes (i.e. snow days) will be listed on “Stu’s
News.”
4. What meets
do we attend?
- During the
fall/winter season we will attend 4-5 A/BB/C meets (open to everyone with no
qualifying times) of which we host 3 of them at CB South. The meets we attend
which require qualifying times for our Age Groupers are the TYR Cup in
December, the Elite Meet in January, and JO’s in March; while our Seniors will
go to the first two meets plus the MA Senior Champs in March along with
Sectionals, Junior Nationals, or Senior Nationals depending on which they
qualify for.
- During the
spring/summer season we will attend 2-3 A/BB/CC meets as well as JO’s, MA
Senior Champs, Sectionals, Nationals, and Zones.
5. How do you
organize your practices?
- Our Age
Group practices are organized by ability group, not by age. Our Senior
practices are also divided by ability and by stroke depending on the day.
6. Do we do
dry-land?
- Our Senior
group routinely does dry-land activities on a daily basis, but our Age
Groupers do not typically participate.
7. Can I
swim SAL or for my high school team?
- Team
members are also given the opportunity to swim for our SAL teams (CBAC or SWAC)
or any other SAL team. They can also still be part of their high school
programs. We do have practices during the high school season for our seniors
Monday-Friday from 5:30-6:45am as well as Saturdays.
