***If you're interested in meeting anyone specific, stop by and say hi during movie night on June 5th!
Pool info
It usually takes a little bit of work to get the pools up and running each year--sometimes we start right on time and sometimes we're a little behind. Unfortunately, the main pool, Skyview, will be unavailable for the first few practices & lessons. Until further notice, we will be practicing at Westchester pool.
Pool Addresses:
Skyview pool (main pool): 4049 Skyview Drive
Westchester pool (backup pool): 3845 Magnolia Drive
Westchester in unable to accommodate evening practices due to its size and higher attendance. Unfortunately, we will be unable to hold evening practices until we move back to Skyview pool.
You are welcome to drop your children off for practice, but please refer to our disciplinary policy in our registration form regarding coaches' responsbilities for your children during their time participating.
2026 Info
Pricing
Residents: $130

$10 discount each additional child ($130, $120, $110...)
All payments are due by your child's first day. If you paid via registration, you are most likely good to go--there were a few families who's registration fees didn't calculate correctly due to incorrect resident statuses.

Swim Lessons
First day: June 2nd
Tuesdays and Thursdays
*9 and over: 9:15 - 10:00am
*8 and under: 10:15 - 11:00am
Our swim lesson program's goal is to provide your swimmer with foundational instruction to learn practical competitive swimming skills by joining the swim team. This is accomplished by personal instruction, building confidence in the water (shallow and deep), and most of all fun.
Our swim lesson groups will have a maximum of five swimmers per instructor, which is slightly less than last summer. When your child progresses through our swim lesson program, they will be encouraged to join the swim team at no additional cost.
