Thank you for your interest in the ElitSwim Club.
As an ELIT participant, you are not only a member of our team, but you are also recognized for your unique ability to be yourself. No two people are the same, and therefore no two swimmers are the same either! Coaches work with each individual swimmer for goal setting and progression status. Our team is focused on providing the absolute best and safest environment for the swimmers on the team.
Our team will not only help your child improve inside the pool, but we also believe that the lessons we teach will help them outside the pool. Integrity, patience, responsibility, respect, individual goal setting, and cooperation are just a few skills vital to swimming that carry into everyday life.
