A History of Family Fun

Larkey is a recreational swim team, dedicated to swimming fun, team spirit and personal improvement. This may not always focus on winning, but everyone benefits from achieving their "Personal Best".

We are one of over 60 recreational teams throughout Contra Costa County whose swimmers range from 4 to 18 yrs of age. As part of the Walnut Creek Swim Conference (WCSC) which is comprised of 8 teams, we swim each of the other teams in our conference once during a season, plus several non-conference meets and invitationals. Our official season starts in May and ends in mid-August with a two-day Walnut Creek Swim Conference Meet. Qualifying swimmers go on to participate in the "All County" Meet in August.

In March of every year, all interested parents are invited to attend the pre-season informational meeting for signups and information. In order to have a fun and successful swim team season, a cooperative effort is required of all parents in the areas of meet prep, fundraising, spirit rally, concessions, timing, stroke & turn, scoring and other fun activities.

Team members must first be a members of the Larkey Private Swim Club. A limited number of splash fee memberships are available for swim team members who are not members of the Larkey Swim Club. Swim Team dues are subject to change, but are approximately $220 for the first swimmer, $175 for the second swimmer in the family, $145 for the third swimmer in the family, $95 for the fourth swimmer in the family and free for the fifth swimmer in the family.
