🌟Why Join Our Team?

Our program is designed to help kids grow not only as swimmers, but as confident, capable young people. Every athlete—whether they’re just starting out or training at the highest levels—learns discipline, teamwork, resilience, and the joy of working toward meaningful goals.

We focus on the whole child: strong technique, positive habits, healthy competition, and a supportive team culture that makes swimming fun and fulfilling. No matter where your child begins, there is a place for them to learn, grow, and thrive.

🧭 Our Coaching Philosophy

We believe in creating a positive, encouraging environment where every swimmer is supported and challenged appropriately. Our coaches emphasize:

  • Excellent technique

  • Long-term development over short-term results

  • Character, confidence, and consistency

  • A love for the sport that lasts

We coach with patience, purpose, and passion—helping athletes become not just great swimmers, but great people.

🚀 A Clear Pathway for Every Swimmer

Every athlete has a place on our team, and every group is part of a natural progression:

Sailors → Pioneers → Bandits → Raiders → Performance
(With age-based pathways including Explorers for late starters.)

Swimmers progress at their own pace, gaining the skills and confidence needed to move up. We make sure each child feels prepared, supported, and excited every step of the way.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does my child need swim team experience to join?
No. We have groups for every level—from just finishing lessons to experienced competitors.

Can my child do other sports?
Absolutely. Many swimmers are also involved in soccer, school activities, or other sports. We support balanced, healthy schedules.

What gear will my swimmer need?
A swimsuit, goggles, cap, towel, and water bottle. Coaches will share any group-specific gear lists after placement.

What if my child is nervous about meets?
That’s completely normal! We start with low-pressure in-house meets and help swimmers feel confident and prepared.

How do swimmers move up groups?
Coaches monitor progress continually and move athletes up when they’re ready—based on skill, maturity, consistency, and readiness for the next level. "Move-Ups" typically take place between seasons in The Fall and Spring.

 

Swim Meets

  • For our beginning swimmers, we will practice "meet protocol" so they experience a swim meet environment before they begin attending real meets.

 

  • Swim meets are fun for the kids! They get to hang out with their friends, learn how to win and lose with dignity and participate in relays. Swim meets can be long for parents but are well worth it. 

 

  • Participants compete in different age groups and meets depending on their achievement level and their age on the first day of the meet. The traditionally recognized age groups are 10-and-under, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 17-18. Many local meets feature 8-and-under, single-age groups or senior events. 

 

  • Swim Meets are important! Swimmers are expected to compete with increasing frequency as they progress through our groups. The schedule for the swim year is typically available in September; we ask families to plan their schedules ahead for swim meets. Once you sign up for a meet, you are responsible for attending the meet. If you are sick, you are still required to pay for the meet.
