Swim Team
Swim Team is for children of all ages interested in the sport of competitive swimming. At Elm Park Pool, we encourage participation from all our members, regardless of experience. Swim Team practices are 5 days per week for 45 minutes to one hour (see weekly schedule). During the practices, swimmers will learn the best techniques for racing as well as develop their speed and endurance. Our coaching staff of experienced swimmers focus on creating a fun and energetic atmosphere for all participants while also teaching important life skills such as hard work and team spirit.
Swim Team members are also encouraged to participate in as many of our 5 weekly swim competitions as possible. Our competitions are filled with positive energy and passionate cheering from our coaches and members and create a uniquely memorable experience for our swimmers. They are held on 5 consecutive Wednesday nights starting the first week of July. Swimmers are asked to be at the host pool by 5:15PM for competitions, which typically end around 9:00 PM. Swimmers may also qualify for the divisional and then league championship meet (see monthly schedule for competition dates).
Our swim team is divided into the following age categories. Each category is led by 2 to 3 coaches:
8 & under
9-10
11-12
13-14 & Open (15+)
