NOTE:  PRIDE's Inclement Weather Policy for snow and ice conditions will follow that of the Prince George’s County School System. When schools are dismissed early or closed due to inclement weather, then swim practice will be cancelled. Swim practice will not be affected when schools declare a "late arrival" procedure. Swim practice will also be cancelled in the event that Prince George’s Community College closes for a weather-related event or an emergency situation. In this instance, Coach Darius will send an email to the team once he is notified by the college. Please refer to the Commissions Closing in Snow and Emergencies.
