Registration for 2024-25 Season
Registration will open for Machine families MID-MAY. This is a priority registration period for our existing members. We will open to new families in early June. So it is important that you register early to reserve your space in the program.
Your coaches will be reaching out to you directly with group recommendations for next season. As you review the recommendations, we encourage you to talk with your children about their goals and priorities for swimming in the coming year. Your coaches are available to meet with you about their recommendations and share their observations from the current year.
We will be sending a link for registration to all team members when we open. Registration Links, schedules and pricing will also be posted on the Machine Aquatics website and Team Unify.
