Swim Levels

Marlins

Swimmers range in age from 5 to 18 and are broken up into two-year categories (6U, 8U, 10U, etc.). A swimmers age is determined by the swimmers age as of June 15th of the current summer season. Throughout the swim season, the team participates in approximately 15 meets. In addition to practices and meets, there are a number of social activities that are held throughout the summer. The swim season begins on April 20th and goes through August 2nd.

Mini-Marlins

Our Mini Marlins, is open for children ages 3 - 6, who range from swimmers being willing to jump in alone and doggy paddle to attempting to complete a full lap of freestyle. Grouped by ability, these early level swim workouts are typically taught in a three to one (three children to one coach) format, with a coach in the water with the children at all times. Mini Marlins is a non-competitive, fun program. The Mini’s season begins June 1st and ends July 24th.

Learn To Swim Program

For children ages 2-3, who are true beginners and are not Mini Marlin ready, we encourage our private “Learn to Swim” lessons with us. We will evaluate your child's level of ability, then provide basic instruction and technique to help the swimmer feel comfortable in the water. These private, one-on-one, lessons will be held from June 8th - July 24th. Practice days would be 3 days a week (Mon, Tues, Thurs). 15 minute private lessons are taught between 10am-11:30am

CCC Day Camp - New in 2026!

In Summer 2026, CCC will pilot a five-week day camp to help parents manage swim practice schedules and provide fun, engaging activities for children between their swim sessions. We are planning to have an amazing group of experienced teachers and preschool directors that will be helping out at the camp!

Camp Registration begins February 7, 2026 at the same time as Swim Team Registration. There are limited spots available, so we recommend registering early!

Days of the week: Monday - Friday

Times: 9am - 3pm

Cost: $400 per week

The day camp will be offered the following weeks:

Week 1: June 1 - June 5
Week 2: June 8 - June 12
Week 3: June 22 - June 26
Week 4: July 7 - July 10
Week 5: July 20 - July 24

Since this is a pilot program, we’ll need a minimum number of campers registered each week in order to run the camp. We’re optimistic that we’ll meet this goal, but we appreciate your understanding that we may need to cancel a session if enrollment is too low, so please register early!

View the Marlin Day Camp page for more details.

Parent Volunteer Commitments

The CCC swim team is a volunteer run organization and we rely on parents to help with all swim meets and social activities. Depending on the level of the swimmer, we ask the following of each family:

Marlin swimmers: 6 commitments per family + 1 OMPA job
Teen (15-18 year old) swimmers only: 3 commitments per family + 1 OMPA job
Mini-Marlin swimmers only: 2 commitments per family
Families have the option to hire “substitute workers” if they so choose.
