First Practice Coming Soon

May 23rd

Greetings QL Eagle Families

The start of swim season is approaching fast! We start of the first practice with a quick assessment and level placement of swimmers conducted by the QL Eagles coaching staff to place swimmers in their initial level and practice lanes. You will leave Evaluation Day knowing what practice time to attend the following day or if lessons are recommended for further confidence and strength. You can find the checklist the coaches will be using for Hatchling/Fledgling placement at the bottom of the email. The team will also host an Ice Cream Social weather permitting.

If you have not registered for the team or joined the pool, please do so HERE

WHEN: Tuesday, 27 May 25

WHO: All swimmers except full time swimmers aged 11 & over are asked to attend; full time swimmers are encouraged to attend the team social.

TIME: Two Sessions

  • Session 1: 4 pm - 5 pm (middle/ high /homeschoolers)*
  • Session 2: 5 pm - 6 pm (all others)*

*Families with multiple swimmers or those with scheduling conflicts can choose which session to attend.

After your assessment, please be sure to visit the ice cream bar! Get your scoop of ice cream and add your favorite toppings. Parent volunteers will be happy to help guide you and answer any questions. Our goal is for this to be an easy, fun transition for your family into summer swim!
