Winter season starts December 8

The winter season of the Flying Fish swim team begins Monday, December 8, 2025 and ends Sunday, March 8, 2026.


  • You'll find the winter practice schedule and other information here.


  • We view the winter season as a continuation of the fall season. Therefore, swimmers will stay with the same practice groups for the winter season.


  • Note that all swimmers will need to pay the 2026 admin fee.


  • Most will need to renew USA Swimming memberships for 2026. (See bottom of this email.)


Registration opens Monday, November 10. See below for how to register.

Confirm with Head Coach Pete Caragher first

  • If you are currently swimming with us, please email Pete to confirm your spot in your practice group. Returning swimmers should confirm with Pete and register by Monday, December 1.


  • If you did not swim with us in the fall or have never swum with us, please email Pete beginning Wednesday, December 3. We may request an evaluation to determine group placement. We want to find a spot for you!

Then register on Community Pass

Once you've confirmed your spot with Pete, you can register on Community Pass. You cannot register without confirming with Pete first.
