Are practices or meets ever cancelled?
Practices are cancelled only if there is visible lightning and/or audible thunder within 30 minutes prior to practice (we still swim in heavy rain or very hot weather). Swimmers cannot re-enter the water until lightning and thunder have not been seen or heard for 30 minutes. It is very unusual to cancel practice or a meet, but if weather is continually severe (as opposed to a passing storm) or hazardous (high winds, unseasonable cold) we will do our best to post a cancellation alert to the team’s website as soon as a decision is made on practice/meet status, so be sure to check the team’s website if in doubt! If there is no notice, plan to attend.
