Practices are held six days a week from Late August through July. The team runs a holiday practice schedule through the December holiday and takes regularly scheduled season breaks for 2 weeks in March and 2-3 weeks in August. The practice schedule is subject to change due to holidays, meets hosted at the Columbus Aquatic Center, the team's meet schedule and weather issues. Coaches will take every opportunity for practice and will utilize dryland practices when in-water practice is not available.
