Our emphasis at PHSC is becoming stronger swimmers while having fun and swimming faster! We encourage ALL swimmers to join us, even those with very little experience. On Swim Team, the emphasis is on the swimmer: swimming is an INDIVIDUAL sport with a TEAM result! We DO NOT focus on place-finished, but on swimmer's individual finish time: as they get stronger & more confident, they get faster! It's a great accomplishment to start the season only being able to go half way, and ending the season swimming a WHOLE length -- WHILE your teammates CHEER you on!!
Joining Swim Team, your swimmer will have MANY opportunities for success & having fun while learning to be SAFE & STRONG in the water.
Head Coach, Angela Maciukiewicz (pronounced MATCH-a-kev-ich), a former Division 1 collegiate swimmer, is returning for her 7th summer as the 2023 PHSC Head Coach, and to her 14thseason as a summer-club coach. Angela, the SSA League's 2019 Coach of the Year, along with the Assistant coaches, bring their love and passsion for swimming to all PHSC swimmers. The coach's goals are to teach all swimmers to swim faster with good techniqe and skills, while reinforcing goal-setting and instilling confidence as PHSC Fighting Fish.
Swim Team is for youth age 4-18 years old.
(Must be 4 years old by May 1st and be able able to work with coaches in the water independently; up to 18 years old or the summer after their senior year of High School).
