Welcome to SLST Swimming!
SLST Swimming is a non-profit, community-based, year-round competitive swim team sanctioned by USA Swimming. Our mission is to provide a high-quality, affordable competitive swim program for children and youth ages 5 to 18 in Santa Clara, CA, and surrounding areas.
We welcome swimmers of all levels—from pre-competitive through to nationally competitive. (For children under 5, please contact Head Coach Noah Bargas to discuss eligibility.)
Note: We no longer offer "learn-to-swim" lessons. All swimmers must be water-safe and able to swim independently.
Tryouts — By Appointment Only (Contact Us)
Please contact us to request more information or to tryout. Tryouts are required to determine the most appropriate swim group for your child. All swimmers are accepted onto the team (space permitting), regardless of current skill level.
Swim Groups
- Pre-Competitive
- For swimmers who are water-safe and ready to begin developing technique, endurance, and confidence in a structured group environment.
- Competitive
- For swimmers with developing skills looking to advance their stroke technique, racing strategies, and fitness levels and advanced swimmers focused on high-level competition and performance, including USA Swimming meets.
