Cancelled Practices: There is no training during Christmas Holidays; March Break or Friday to Monday of Holiday weekends. There are also a number of pre-planned cancellations due to other activities in the facility. There will be no practices scheduled when swimmers are expected to be at a swim meet. This has been taken into consideration when fees are established.
Special Practices are scheduled on swim meet weekends for those swimmers not invited to the swim meet (usually the Stroke Development Swimmers). These special practices alternate between Stouffville and Aurora, due to coaching staff being at the swim meet.
