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!

For more information please email [email protected]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.

WHAT PARENTS NEED TO BRING

Please COMPLETE and bring the following forms and/or items with you to New Member Night! Links to forms are located at the bottom of the page. Each swimmer must have their own registration forms.

1. HLA Athlete Registration Form
2. USA Swimming Registration Form
3. A COPY of your swimmer's birth certificate or passport.
4. A COMPLETED ACH Automatic Debit Payment form with a blank VOIDED check attached.
5. A SINGLE check made out to HLA for the TOTAL amount of the following:

• The Annual Heartland Aquatics Membership Fee ($120 for HS swimmer or $135 for all other groups...max of $225 per family)
• The USA Swimming Midwestern Swimming Registration ($72) for each NEW to club swimmers OR the Midwestern Swimming Transfer fee ($10)

We will hold all this information including the ACH form and the check for the two week trial - this insures our team while your swimmer is in the water with HLA - we will cash this check when you decide to join the team after the two week trial. If you decide NOT to join the team, we can either shred your check and ACH Auto Pay form or mail it back to you.

If your swimmer is transferring from another team and is currently registered with USA swimming, please contact our membership coordinator directly to make arrangements for a trial period. ([email protected] )

Be sure to bring a completed Midwestern Swimming Transfer Request Form (link below) to your trial.
