Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is your club code and team name?
A: LIFE Life Time Iowa Swim Club
Q: How much does it cost to join your team?
A: Our prices range from $125 per month for Development swimmers to $140 for Gold swimmers.
Q: Why is family commitment so important to your team and to this sport?
A: Your child needs your commitment and support through their challenges as well as their successes. The best swimmers have families that support them and the Life Time Iowa team philosophy. This support leads to swimmers achieving their goals while developing into responsible, self-motivated, confident, and successful adults.
Q: Is it true that if you’re not committed to swimming you shouldn’t join your team?
A: Life Time Iowa Swim Team is a year round competitive swim team offering high quality professional coaching and technique instruction for all ages and abilities. The goal of our team is to provide every member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and achieve success at his or her level of ability, from novice to international competitor.
Q: Is it true that if you don’t come to practice you’ll be kicked off the team?
A: Kids are not kicked off our team for not being able to come to practice. We provide a practice schedule and are hopeful you will come as often as your family schedule will allow. The more a swimmer is in the water, the better the swimmer will get. We encourage you to come as often as you can, but we don’t kick swimmers off because they can’t get to the pool.

Q: My swimmer has other activities or a vacation and needs to take a break. How do we stop the program?
A: Just submit a 30 Day Notice Cancelation Form to the Aquatics Office located on the Indoor Pool Deck. Partial months are prorated for mid month cancelations. Please keep in mind that space is limited and returning swimmers may have to be placed on a waiting list before being able to return to the program.
