Thank you for your interest in Heartland Aquatics!

HLA is a year round, competitive swim team that provides opportunities for swimmers of all ages and abilities. We look forward to welcoming new families with an interest in being part of our TEAM!

If your swimmer is NEW to club swimming, please join us for our next New Member Night(s): We are excited for your interest in our club. Due the onging helath crisis HLA does not have a set date on when Lincoln Public Schools will allow the team to host practices in the fall. 

If you would like to receive an email as soon as we have dates set or want more information please email membership@heartlandaquatics.org   

WHAT TO EXPECT AT NEW SWIMMER NIGHT

We will start all together to welcome you, introduce the coaches and board members and give you a little information about the team. Then swimmers will leave with coaches and head down to the pool for their assessment. Parents will stick around for a short meeting and then be able to head to the pool stands to watch their swimmers.

After the assessment, your swimmer will talk to the coaches and they will be given an assessment card with their practice group placement or more information regarding club swim team readiness!

WHAT YOUR SWIMMER SHOULD BRING

Swimmers come ready to get into the pool. Caps, goggles, and suits on! Swimmers will get in the water for a short assessment of their skills and then be given a potential group placement.
