Orca Practice Schedule
The Terra Linda ORCAS offers training and practice groups for swimmers of all ages and ability levels. It is the goal of the Terra Linda ORCAS to offer age-specific training for all of our athletes geared towards challenging each individual and developing each individual to the best of his/her abilities.
Practice is offered 5 days per week and swimmers can come as frequently and stay as long as works for your family. That said, swimmers that come more times per week see a faster improvement on their times and technique.
Please note that swimmers who need to arrive earlier/later and/or leave earlier/later then listed times will be accommodated as much as possible. Just let the coach on deck know what you need and every effort will be made to work with your wishes.
Practices are also posted to the practice calendar here.
