We hope this will help you as you get started on our team and/or in the sport of swimming!
New Family Information:
What do we need to get started (video)?
Team suits will be available on our Team Store at select times during the year. Swimmers will need a team suit and team cap for swim meets. For practice suits we recommend any "grab bag" suit (discounted competition swim suit), and save the team suit for meets.
Team caps are available at the beginning of each session and are customizable with the swimmer's last name, and all times at the pool office (without customization).

FALL 2022! We are excited to get started this fall, and are looking forward to getting to know you and your swimmer(s). I have some information for you below to help you get started this fall. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Note: as we start to set our meet schedule and add the swim meets to the website you will get notified by email for each one. This can seem overwhelming, but we will help you as we get started with our parent meetings and Open House. And after that if you have questions you can always stop in before or after practices to talk to a coach or email your coach (coach information will be coming soon so you know who will be coaching your swimmer and have their contact information).
No need to sign up in advance, just join us online and we will help to get you started with the swim team! You have two meetings to choose to from this season, please try to attend at least one:
Monday, August 15, 7:00 PM AND/OR Sunday, September 11, 7:00 PM.
