The Swarthmore Swim Club offers training and practice groups for swimmers of all ages and ability levels. It is the goal of the Swarthmore Swim and Dive Team to offer age-specific training for all of our athletes geared towards challenging each individual and developing each individual to the best of THEIR abilities.
All Sea Sharks, Sea Colts, and Dive Team swimmers must be members or on the staff of the Swarthmore Swim Club. The registration free for the swim or dive team are $175 per person (the Sea Colt developmental team fee is $125). Additional expenses include purchasing a team suit.
