About Us

Welcome to all swimmers and families! By focusing on stroke improvement, healthy competition, spirit and teamwork, we will be ensured a successful, rewarding, and FUN season!

​Swim meets are family and community oriented events. They require a lot of participation but are great fun for swimmers and families. Children learn responsibility, and become healthy, strong swimmers – regardless of speed. Swim team helps the swimmers to be competent swimmers for the rest of their lives – for safety, enjoyment, and exercise.

We are looking forward to another great season in 2026!

What to expect

  • Meets begin at 6:00pm, but swimmers should arrive early for warm-ups (around 4:30pm). Coaches will give specific times prior to each meet. Good parking spots are often limited, so the earlier you can arrive, the better. Consider carpooling. Bring your own chairs for home and away meets.
  • Each swimmer should check in with the Check-In persons (a parent or two). Swimmers will then have their event numbers written on their hands (so they won’t forget!). Coaches will assign swimmers to events ahead of time.
  • 8 and Under Relay swimmers (first event): will begin immediately after the National Anthem. Be available, stay with your relay team, report to coaches immediately after warm-ups, then to Clerk of Course—don’t go anywhere else!
  • Weather: in case of thunder, the meet will be delayed or postponed, NOT CANCELED. It is very difficult to reschedule swim meets, so the coaches and referee will make every effort to complete the meet. That may mean a long evening. Please stay on the premises / in your car.
