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 early August with a two-day Walnut Creek Swim Conference Meet. Qualifying swimmers go on to participate in the "All County" meet the second 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. Swim Team dues are subject to change (from year to year), but for 2018 are $240 for the first swimmer (in the family); $200 for the second swimmer; $170 for the third swimmer; $125 for the fourth swimmer; and free for the fifth swimmer.
