Practice Schedule

Practice Schedule
Summer practices (June and July) are Monday – Friday each week of season, winter practices (Oct. – Feb.) are M/W/Sa. Swimmers should attend as often as they can to help their skills improve.

Practice Days & Times

• Club Swimmers
  • M-F from 5:30-6:30pm

Holiday and Special No Practice Dates

• No practice on July 3-4th. We will return to practice on July 7, 2025.

Winter Weather Policy
In the event of winter weather, practice and/or meets will be canceled. Rails Swimming will post something on the website, send an email, post on Facebook, ect if this were to occur. We typically use the guidelines set by the Des Moines Public School District. For example: if DMPS cancels school or evening activities, we will not host practice.

Shared Facility Conflicts
Club swimming shares a facility with high school swimmers from Carlisle, Norwalk and the southside of Des Moines. Unfortunately, this means there are occasional schedule conflicts requiring us to cancel practice. Thanks for your understanding.
