We hope everyone has had a wonderful Labor Day and enjoying some time with family and friends.  

 

This week, Coach Mo, Coach Sarah, and Coach Amanda will be attending the American Swim Coaches Association’s World Clinic

Practice Schedule Changes

  • Monday, September 2, we will not have practice in observance of Labor Day.
  • Thursday, September 5, we will have an adjusted practice schedule due to coaches attending the ASCA World Clinic.  Senior Hawgs & Senior Prep will practice from 5:30-7:00 AM. Hawgs Red & Hawgs White will practice from 4:30-5:30 PM Junior Hawgs Red, Junior Hawgs White, & Senior Swim Fit will practice from 5:30-7:00 PM.  We will not have dryland on this day.

Closed Deck During Practice

While we welcome parents to drop off and pick up their swimmers from the pool deck, we ask that all parents observe practice from the bleachers.  If you have any questions for your swimmer’s coach, please feel free to reach out via email or before/after they finish coaching.

HPER Practices on Tuesday

Hawgs White & Junior Hawgs Gray will have practice at the University of Arkansas HPER Building (151 Stadium Drive) on Tuesday this semester.  All swimmers must enter the building through the Meadow Street Entrance.  Please do not enter through any other entrances.  

 

Please note, this year, the HPER Building is going through renovations which include the locker rooms.  We will not have access to the locker rooms this year.  We ask that all swimmers arrive and leave practice in their swimsuits.  There will also be limited restroom access, so we recommend using the restroom prior to arriving at the HPER Building.  

 

Finally, there are a few parking spaces across from the Meadow Street Entrance. The University of Arkansas Parking Enforcement will be ticketing those parking spaces 24/7, so we recommend parking in the Meadow Street Parking Deck.

Jones Center Membership

The Jones Center requires all AquaHawgs to have an Ultimate Membership.  Make sure your membership is active and that your swimmer is scanning in everyday.  They have also asked everyone to update their pictures on the memberships.  Please stop by the Jones Center Member Services Desk to update your picture over the next few weeks.

You are now able to renew your 2025 USA Swimming Membership.  This is done through the USA Swimming website.  If you signed up for a USA Swimming Flex Membership (USA Swimming Membership with only 2 Swim Meets), we recommend waiting until you have used both of your meets to renew your Flex Membership.
