Mills Farm Ponies: What to Expect!
Hi everyone! As school is winding down, we wanted to touch base with a reminder of our practice schedule for Ponies and a little info about what to expect.
Practice Schedule
Ponies are not expected to attend practice every day. (We recommend 3x per week!) We offer a session every day, Monday thru Friday, but you can pick and choose which works best for your schedule. You do not have to come the same days/times every week.
Practices begin Tuesday, May 28 for Ponies and run through July 12. Here are the session times you can choose from:
MWF - 7:45-8:30am
T/Th - 11:15am-noon
Ponies will always meet on the basketball courts for a dryland warm-up and then coaches will bring them into the pool. Parents are always welcome to stay and watch; we just ask that you stay back a little and keep the pool deck clear for coaches and swimmers to move around.
What will your swimmer need every day?
- One-piece swimsuit (any kind!)
- Goggles
- Towel
- Water
That's it!
Swim Lessons
If you think your swimmer would benefit from some additional private lessons, our Mustangs coaches do teach lessons for a very reasonable rate. They book up fairly quickly, so don't wait too long to reach out.
Weather Cancellations
We will inevitably have some practices cancelled due to weather. This will always be communicated by 7:15am (early practice) and 10:45am (late practice) via email. We will practice in light rain, but have a hard stop with any lightning.
Always check your email if you have any doubt before sending kids to practice!
We look forward to meeting this group of little Ponies!! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
