We are looking for swimmers who can comfortably swim front stroke (freestyle), back stroke and breast stroke 1 full length of the pool each.

Team levels are determined based on strength of stroke, endurance and understanding of competition rules for each stroke. 

At the beginning of each season we share the team’s meet schedule.

Since we are a competitive team, we encourage your swimmer to attend as many meets as possible to not only learn and grow, but also experience the excitement of cheering on their teammates and going to other facilities.

Most meets allow 3-4 events per swimmer, with a possibility of relay races too.

We have an expectation that you are participating in most practices and meets. Being part of a team means that you are committed to your regimen and participating in events with your team.
