A History of Family Fun

Larkey is a recreational swim team, dedicated to swimming fun, team spirit and personal improvement. The focus may not always be 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 years old. 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 April and ends in late July with a two-day Walnut Creek Swim Conference Meet. Qualifying swimmers go on to participate in the "All County" meet the first weekend 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 from all parents in the areas of meet preparation, fundraising, spirit rally, concessions, timing, stroke & turn, and other fun activities.

Team members must first be members of the Larkey Private Swim Club. First year swimmers are offered a 'splash fee' membership of $100. Good for 1st year on the team only!  Swim Team dues are subject to change (from year to year), but for 2020 (before March 12) you pay $250 for the first swimmer (in the family); $220 for the second swimmer; $180 for the third swimmer; $125 for the fourth swimmer; and free for the fifth swimmer.   Fees go up on March 12th!
