BETHEL PARK RECREATION SWIM

Governed by the Municipality of Bethel Park, the Bethel Park Recreation Swim Team brings the sport of swimming to local athletes of all ages and experience levels.  Since its establishment in 1963, Bethel Park recreation Swim Team athletes have experienced success at all levels of swimming, from summer Country Club Leagues all the way to the Olympic Team Trials.  More importantly, the team has helped produce lifelong athletes and citizens who use lessons learned in our sport to make a difference in the world today.

SUCCESS IS TRADITION
