Hi Sharks!

We are only two days away from the start of the summer swim season! Yay! Coach Luke and I are excited to be returning to the coaching staff. We are looking forward to a fun and exciting swim season. Below is information related to registration, swim team assessments, AND swim team apparel - please read carefully.

Swim Team Assessments

This Friday (6/1) is our swim team assessments at 5 pm. During this time, the coaches will evaluate swimmers and place them into the following teams based on ability and where your child(ren) will benefit most. If you were on the A-Team last year, you do not need to come to the swim assessments on Friday. The swim team assessments are for new swimmers or swimmers who were not on the A-Team last year.

• Our Competitive Swim Team (called the A-Team): for our experienced swimmers. We have practices available five days a week, both morning and afternoon. Our competitive swim team competes in “A” and “B” meets.

• The Intermediate Team: for those who have little experience swimming but can swim the length of the pool without assistance. These swimmers work on improving stroke technique and endurance while practicing 5 times per week. Swimmers on the intermediate team may choose to swim in “B” meets, or no meets at all.

• The Pre-Team: for our swimmers who can float and swim a few yards. This team is an introduction to the swim team with practices 5 times a week. Children must be willing to enter the water without their parents, and will be instructed in the basics of stroke and kicking. And, they might even participate in a kickboard race at a “B” Meet !!

Please note that team assignments are tentative and may change based on ability and how the swimmer improves over time.

If your child(ren) cannot attend the swim assessments on Friday, you can come to any practice next week and we will evaluate your swimmer at that time.

Swim team practices will begin on Monday, June 4th for ALL swimmers. Below are the practice times for the season (this information can also be found on the website under Information - Practice Times).
