Information and Registration

2024 is the 5th season of the Candelas Cyclones. A swim team for building swimmers in the Candelas community focused on skill development and an introduction to competitive swimming.  North Jeffco Swim Team has been part of the community for 60+ years and a very successful USA swim team, is sponsoring the Cyclones to build a bigger and stronger swimming community. North Jeffco Swim Team is known for developing swimmers to achieve their highest potential. We are proud to work with Candelas and the community to bring swimming to your neighborhood.

Skill Level:

Swim team provides instruction and competition for all levels of athlete ability. The Candelas Cyclones will work with new swimmers able to do a length of the pool free and back to experienced athletes with lap swimming experience. Proficiency in swimming is not expected, that is part of the swim team experience. Swimmers in this program will learn competitive swimming technique, skills and build endurance. At the end of the season most if not all swimmers will be ready for the year round competitive team at Meyers. For swimmers not ready for team or multisport athlete, there will always be next summer to continue their competitive swimming experience. If unsure this is the right way to enter the competitive swimming pool, please email the head coach for advice and information.

NJST also sponsors a swim lesson program at the same facility for those not team ready,
