There will be no practices on Sunday, effective immediately, through the end of the summer season. So this means there will be no practice this Sunday, June 22.
 
With the exception of Sundays, swimmers will remain on their current practice schedules through Monday, June 30.
 
The new summer practice schedule begins on Tuesday, July 1, and remains in effect through the rest of the summer. (See below for the new schedule.)
 
Morning practices for the Junior 1, Junior 2, Senior and National groups begin on Tuesday, June 24. They will take place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 6 to 8 a.m. in the long-course (meter) pool at the Cedardale Athletic Club in the Bradford section of Haverhill. These practices are optional for the Junior 1, Junior 2 and Senior swimmers. They are mandatory for swimmers in the National group.
