Weather Policy
CRSW Swim Practices and Meets continue as scheduled in rainy weather - so please prepare your swimmer - and always bring rain gear to meets when rain is in the forecast.
In case of thunderstorms, the pool will be cleared for 30 minutes at the first clap of thunder - for the safety of all swimmers and coaches. The coaches will decide whether to continue the practice or meet based on time remaining and weather forecast. In the event that practices/meets are affected, the team will notify families via Twitter/SMS messages (by subscription) initially as this is the quickest form of communication. Please be prepared to pick up your swimmer early from practice or have a carpool plan in stormy weather.
Meets that are stopped due to stormy weather before completion of breaststroke- and unable to resume - will be rescheduled. After completing breaststroke, meets may be rescheduled or considered a complete meet - the league representatives of both teams will meet and make the call.
