Swim Team

Our swim team is open to swimmers ages 4–16 with practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and each session lasting 45 minutes. This season, we are excited to offer a NEW Saturday morning swim team practice from 9:00-10:00 a.m., providing an additional opportunity for skill development and flexibility for families.

Swim meets take place on Thursday afternoons at 4:00 p.m., where our team competes against LaRonde, Swordfish, and Surf Club, giving swimmers valuable race and team experience in a supportive, competitive environment.

 

Swimmers ages 4–6 will swim freestyle with a kickboard across the width of the pool, focusing on comfort, coordination, and basic stroke development. Swimmers ages 7–16 are expected to swim all four competitive strokes, freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly across the length of the pool.

 

Please note that swim team practices are not a replacement for swim lessons. It is essential that swimmers meet the required skill level for participation. All swimmers ages 8 and under must be enrolled in swim lessons in order to participate on the swim team.
