Bloomington/Normal Practice Schedule

Fall/Winter 2026-2027

Practice Attendance

At RAID, we do not require practice attendance minimums. Instead, we offer recommendations (see below) to help set realistic expectations for improvement. Swimmers get out of the program what they’re willing and able to put in.

We offer six practices per week, depending on the group, to provide flexibility and help athletes balance swimming with school, family, and other activities. As swimmers mature and progress to higher groups, their commitment—including attendance—should increase to support their development.
