Team Swimsuits are REQUIRED. The company we get our team suits from has our 2022 suit in stock, which means if you have your 2022 suit and it still fits, you do not need to purchase a new suit. If you do not have a 2022 suit, you will need to purchase a new one.

In addition to team suits, we will also have t-shirts, hoodies, caps, and other cool gear (optional purchases)! Apparel orders will be sent out closer to the end of March so stay tuned!

Member Meet & Greet - Tuesday, April 11th

We will be having our Member Meet & Greet on Tuesday, April 11th, at 6:00 PM. This will be a time for you to bring your swimmers to the Club to meet a couple of the coaches, ask any questions you would like (if you haven't already), and to trial the swimsuits to make sure you are getting the best fit possible!

FAQ:

Q: What is the projected start and end date for the 2023 season?

A: Monday, June 5th - Sunday, July 30th

Q: Swim Team. Should I sign them up? How old do my kids need to be in order to be on swim team?

A: First of all, our Swim Team is awesome! Steve is more than happy to answer any questions about the team, and we can even get you in touch with members who have been on the swim team over the past few years to get their feedback.

Second of all, it is assumed that children who join the swim team are comfortable swimming in deep water and have the endurance to complete at minimum, 1-2 laps. As long as your child can do this, there is no age restriction.

Children who cannot complete 1 full lap but are still interested in Swim Team, are encouraged to participate in our Polliwog program (see below for more information on Polliwogs).

Children needing instruction is basic swim skills such as putting their faces in water, jumping into the pool, floating, etc. should sign-up for Private Swim Lessons with the club. More information about Private Swim Lessons will come out closer to the Pool Opening.

Q: What is a Polliwog?

A: A Polliwog is a swimmer that is comfortable in the water, can swim a minimum of 5 yards unassisted but does not know any strokes or swimming technique. The Polliwog program is designed to give younger swimmers (typically 4-6 years old) the experience of being on a Swim Team (attending meets, etc.) without the full commitment. Polliwogs can only attend Polliwog designated practice times. Polliwogs will be swim tested at their first practice to ensure they can swim 5 yards unassisted and are comfortable in the water. If your swimmer does not meet these requirements, we will recommend Private Swim Lessons for them.

Q: How many practices can my swimmer attend per week?

A: Swimmers can attend as many or as little as your schedule allows.

Q: My child is 4 years old, can they sign-up for Swim Team?

A: If your child is comfortable swimming on their own in deep water and can complete 1-2 laps unassisted, then yes! If they are comfortable in the water and can only swim 5 yards unassisted, they should sign-up for the Polliwog program. If they do not fall into either of these categories, Private Lessons may be the best option for them.

Q: When is the deadline to register?

A: Friday, April 14th or until the program is at capacity.
