Join
our team!
The Lake Geneva Swim Club is a
competitive swim team for children of all ages. Swimmers are
coached by professional coaches, and the program’s main
facility is Badger High School in Lake Geneva.
The team has several groups and placement is
determined by both age and swimming ability. Swimmers must be able
to swim 25 yards freestyle and 25 yards backstroke in order to join
the team.
The beginner swim team groups have no practice
requirements. Our practice schedule is very accommodating, and
offers families flexibility in setting up a practice schedule that
fits into their schedule. The suggested practice attendance is as
follows:
Level 1 - 3 times per
week
Level 2 - 3 times per
week
Level 3 - 4 times per
week
Level 4 - 4 times per
week
Seniors - 5 times per
week
Swim Meets
Swimmers have the opportunity to compete in
meets. They can swim as many, or as few, as you would like. There
are meet entry fees for each meet, usually $4 - $5 per event plus a
splash fee determined by the host team. The fees for the meet
entries will be charged if you do not show up for the meet.
You will be asked to put a credit card on file and that card will
be charged the beginning of the following month, you are
responsible for any additional meet fees for your
swimmer.
Equipment
Swimmers are required to have their own
equipment. All swimmers should have their own goggles and a swim
cap if they wish to wear one. For the beginner level groups the
required equipment is minimal. All equipment can be purchased
through
Swim Outlet or other online or brick & mortar store.
In addition to the equpiment listed below, many swimmers use a mesh
swim bag for pool equipment and a backpack or duffle for towels,
change of clothes, water bottle and other essential
items.
Level 1 and 2 - No equipment
requirement
Level 3 - Zoomers (short fins)
Level 4 - Zoomers (short fins) &
Snorkel. A nose plug is recommended.
Seniors - Zoomers (short fins), Snorkel, Long
Dive Fins and Nose Plug
As
swimmers prepare to compete in meets, they should have a team suit.
Team suits are also available through
Swim Outlet. This suit will last longer if it only used
for meets. Swimmers can wear any competitive swimming suit for
practices.
