2021 Membership Information

Our desire is to welcome back every swimmer from last year’s team. We want everyone to continue to enjoy the fun, the competition and the camaraderie that is the Brookdale Buccaneers.

Also, as a sub-board of the Brookdale Racquet Club (BRC), it is one of our tasks to ensure BRC bond-holders have a place on the team. We’re also wary of overloading certain age and gender groups, so we’re not going to extend our facilities and coaches too far. So here is our registration plan:

February 1 - April 4, 2021 - Registration Open for all Returning 2020 Members

All 2020 swimmers (and their siblings who are new to the team) can go to bucsswimteam.com and register for the team. This is the ONLY window in which returning swimmers and their siblings can sign up for the Bucs.  If you register after this time, there is no guarantee that there will be a spot available.

February 7 - April 4, 2021 - Registration Opens for New Members

All new families who want to join the Brookdale Bucs swim team can register during this timeframe.

Saturday, April 24, 2021 -  Registration/Activity Fees Payment Due

Once your registration is confirmed, you will be placed on hold until all payments are received.  Once all payment are received, you will be activated and will be able to sign up for jobs and declare for meets.  Please allow a few days for activation once your payment has been received. You will receive an email telling you that your registration payment has been processed.

Saturday, May 1, 2021 - Job Sign-Up and Meet Declaration Open at 8:00am
