Inclement Weather
What happens when it rains?
Shark practices and meets are run in rain or shine. Please read below for further explanation:
During Meets:
- Bring raincoats and waterproof shoes - we run meets in the rain!! Meets will be paused only in the event of (1) heavy rain resulting in the lifeguards not being able to see the bottom of the pool and (2) thunderstorms.
- Please click HERE to review the NVSL weather procedure. To summarize - if the meet is halted due to a thunderstorm, immediately go to your car and remain there until you receive communication from a Team Rep with further instructions. DO NOT LEAVE THE MEET until you are told otherwise!
During Practice:
- We will also run practice in the rain. Like meets, practice will be paused only in the event of (1) heavy rain resulting in the lifeguards not being able to see the bottom of the pool and (2) thunderstorms.
- Should we cancel practice due to weather, we will immediately notify parents via email. If cancellation occurs during an ongoing practice, coaches will remain until all swimmers are picked up.
- If rain is in the forecast, remain close to the pool.
