PRACTICE GROUP DESCRIBTION All swimmers/parent must go on line to the Seals web site www.vinelandseals.com to indicate their practice selection time. This will allow Coach Dennis to determine the best way to allocate the Coaching staff and to ensure that we do not have to many swimmers at one practice and very few at another practice. Please see Coach Dennis if you have questions about your swimmers as an Advance Blue Seal – I want to have this in place by November 15th. The plan is for parent to record their practice choice on line and you would be able to see what other swimmers will be at the same practice in case you are car pooling to practice. Please note if you can not make your selected time you will always be able to make it up at another practice without prior approval.
White Seals – Must have a North Carolina National qualifying time or be at least 13 years of age. Coach Dennis may select additional swimmers. Look for more information about Roll Tide group! RT in NC
Advance Blue Seals – There will be a group of advanced Blue Seals selected by Coach Dennis finalized by November 15.
Blue Seals – Swimmers between the age of 9-12. This group must attend practice at least 3 times a week.
