Practice Information

You will find that MVAC practices differ from that of most USA Swim Teams in the Valley in that all our practice groups are in the pool at the same time.  This allows our Head Coach to lead practices & stroke instruction for all groups.  The Assistant Coaches are on deck with their respective groups to provide any stroke corrections or set modifications as needed for their swimmers.  The benefit to having all groups practice together is that each group is able to learn from more experienced and advanced team members.  

Morning practices are offered during the week year-round and are considered optional for Silver/Gold training groups.  Attendance is expected at these sessions for members of the Senior training group. 

During the Fall season, we are an especially busy pool, accomodating high school swim teams for practices & meets.  The Moon Valley pool is also home to the Moon Valley Country Club's CCL team which uses the pool seasonally, as well as the Arizona Desert Gems synchronized swim team.  Our practice schedules may be subject to change with little notice. Please check with your coach for changes due to weather, meets, country club events, and miscellaneous reasons. We will try to update the schedules as frequently as possible.

For the month of June we have Summer CCL sharing pool space with us and practice schedules will change.  We also start our serious summer training for Long Course season and offer double practices most days.  We normally schedule a team break after AZ Age Group State Long Course Championships in August before school begins again.  Swimmers participating in the Far Western Age Group Championships, their break will be postponed until the conclusion of this meet.
