Everyone gets to swim regardless of ability: Ever had your child in a sport and your child had to sit on the bench or play a less important role because he/she is not the fastest or best player on the team? Not with swimming. Everyone swims regardless of ability or age.
Flexible practice times: We have practice every weekday and your child can swim in either the morning or afternoon. Can’t make it one week because you are on vacation? No problem, take the week off and come back refreshed the following week. Want to swim only 2 or 3 times a week, not all 5 days? No problem. Pick the days that work the best for you. Want to attend a practice and watch your child? No problem. We’re flexible.
Flexible competition schedule: The swim team attends 5 meets throughout the summer season where your swimmer has a chance to compete against swimmers of their own age and ability from other teams. You can choose whether you want to attend some, all, or none of these meets. Pick the ones that match your schedule and needs. We’re flexible.
We’re more than just a recreation program: We carpool to meets together. We have team events during the summer and an end of year banquet where we honor the swimmers and reflect on the season. Many parents, especially of the younger swimmers, come and watch their children at practice. When you do these things you get to know the parents, coaches, and swimmers and you quickly realize we are a swimming community, not just another recreation program.
We only put your child in events in which your child can succeed: Our coaches will never put your child into an event or situation where your child does not have the ability to swim. It’s all about the experience. We want your child to succeed and to continue to swim for a lifetime.
Cost for what you get: Compare the price of our program to other programs your child belongs to. Compare our price to the price swim teams in other communities charge. Considering what we charge and what you get we feel you are getting good value for your dollar.
Our swim board and parents: We have a very active parent volunteer swim board that works closely with our coaches to ensure we have a quality swim program that provides opportunities for your child. It’s not just one or two families but many, which helps ensure the program is diverse and successful.
We work hard but we have fun doing it: Swimming’s a hard sport. Going back and forth in the pool can get monotonous. Our coaches are very good at getting your child to work hard but have fun doing it. We are consistently working on making it more fun.
Swimming is a healthy, lifetime activity: Some of the sports your child is in today require a team of people with special equipment to play, and will end when your child graduates from high school or college. Swimming is not one of those sports. Any age person, from age 1 to 100 can swim. All you need is a pool or lake and maybe a pair of goggles. No extra buddies to form a team (just a buddy or lifeguard for safe swimming). No special equipment. It’s a very good cardiovascular activity with very few injuries (if done properly).
