Greenview Swim Team Programs

The Greenview Dolphins Swim Team (GVST) follows a structured progression for athlete enrollment, where all participants initially join as Guppies. We teach swimmers to set goals and understand that hard work goals can be achieved.

The eligibility criteria for a swimmer to become a Dolphin swimmer are based on the athlete's age. Athletes aged eight and under must demonstrate swimming a 200-meter freestyle, with flip turns without stopping. Athletes nine and older must swim a 500-meter freestyle, including flip turns, without stopping.
