Please review the information for the 2026 Spring and Summer Season!

 

 

Registration For Competitive Team: 

  • Early Bird Registration  
    • ​Returning families only
    • Opens on February 1, 2026 at 9am and closes on February 15, 2026 at midnight.  
    • $430 (ages 4-14), $255 (ages 15-18), Little Rays $350
  • Regular Registration
    • ​New and returning families
    • Opens February 16, 2026 at 9am
    • $480 (ages 4-14), $255 (ages 15-18), Little Rays $350
  • Sibling Discount
    • ​There is a $35 discount for each sibling AFTER the first registrant
  • BHS Boosters $5 fee
    • Swim team fees are NOT increasing this year.  The only difference from last year is that we added a $5 per swimmer booster fee, which will be donated to the Benicia High School Aquatics Program to help fund their aquatic sports.  The majority of our swimmers go on to participate in BHS Aquatics, and this is a small way to demonstrate our support!  
  • Tryouts
    • All new 10/unders to swim team must attend tryouts (date TBD).  All swimmers should be able to independently and safely swim 25 yards across the pool.  Those 8/unders who do not pass tryouts may participate in our Little Rays Program.  
    • Registration will open BEFORE tryouts can occur.  If you believe your swimmer will pass tryouts, please register them to secure their place on the team (spots for the younger swimmers are limited and fill up quickly).  If your swimmer does not pass tryouts, we will refund your registration fee MINUS a $25 processing fee (so be fairly certain your swimmer can swim the length of the pool before registering for the competitive team)

 

Little Rays 

  • ​8/under swimmers who are new to swimming and can not independently swim 25 yards may sign up for Little Rays!
  • This is a lessons-only program.  Swimmers do not compete in meets unless they have made significant skill advancements over the season.  
  • If your Little Ray advances quickly and can safely swim across the pool, they will be invited to participate in any remaining HOME meets we have for the summer.  
  • Dates:  Monday, June 15, 2026 - Friday, July 17th.  This is a summer-only program.  
  • Times:  TBD, likely in the afternoon after regular practice is finished
  • Cost:  $350 per swimmer
  • Parent Volunteer Requirement: NONE!!!!  If you have other swimmers on the team, then you do still have a volunteer requirement.
