Bay State Games Training

What are the Bay State Games?

Because these meets are scheduled during the off season of our Age Group and High School programs I am preparing a schedule  of practices for training and conditioning.  Walpole team members, see this as the optional month of training (May) on your summer schedule.  Non-team members are welcome to train with us, no one is obligated to sign up for or participate in the Bay State Games.  Also, the application fee for the games is above and beyond the fee for training/practice.

This training will be open to all interested swimmers regardless of their team/ town affiliations, on a first come - first served basis.  Applicants to the Games must be 10 years or older and MUST be able to swim the 4 competitive strokes. However, 7 years and older 'Team Veterans' are encouraged to join for the extra practices even if they will not or cannot compete in the Games.

• Practice Schedule

Practices will be held:

Friday 4:00 - 6:00 at Blue Hills Regional School in Canton, MA
