With cold and snow here, I would like to take a moment to address how we decide to cancel practices for inclement weather, and how that is communicated to you. If we do need to cancel an evening practice due to weather related issues, we generally make that decision by 3:00. This is then posted on our Facebook page, tweeted and then posted to the teamapp. We do not generally email out last minute changes. If you think there may be a weather related cancellation, please check the website before heading out the door.
We utilize a lot of information to make these decisions: including the local weather forecast, school closing, the county level system (a level 2 in Delaware county generally warrants practice cancellation, any level in Franklin could as they rarely declare one) and the road sensors and cameras available on ohgo.com
On a side note, our club is private, meaning we are not governed by the typical liability of holding a practice that a public/school based club would have during poor road conditions. It is ultimately your choice to get on the road to drive to practice, so when the weather is bad we ask that you use your best judgement and do so only if you are comfortable. We never have repercussions or reprimand a swimmer for missing practice during poor road conditions.
