Weather policy:

The coaches on deck make the determination if practice can be safely held.

The general rules of thumb for weather related practice cancellations are:

1. Thunder and lightning will cause the pool to be closed for at least 1/2

    hour for thunder and 1 hour for lightning.

2. Rain that is heavy enough to prevent the coaches from seeing the bottom

   of the pool will cause the pool to be closed until the conditions improve.

3. Light rain will not normally cause practice cancellation.
