  10. I see you have practice Monday-Saturday...Do we need to be there everyday? Depending on the age, level, and group of the swimmer, there are different expectations for every individual on the team. In the Bronze group, we do offer 4 practices per week, but swimmers do not need to be there everyday. We offer several practices per week for flexibility for our families. We do suggest a consistent practice routine for progress and advancement.
