Rec Swim Team: Ages 8-10

Interested in competitive swimming? Sample a competitive swimming environment by participating in team-style practices, competing at a swim meet and learning competition skills before joining a club swim team.

Ages 8-10 Rec Team Requirements:

• 25+ yards freestyle and backstroke
• 10+  yards breaststroke and butterfly
• Ability to swim and tread unassisted in deep water
• Must have passed Skipper 5, Admiral 3 or equivalent level

Prerequisites and Skill Assessment: On the first day of practice, swimmers will be tested on the required skills to ensure that Rec Swim Team is a good fit. Each age group will be split up into levels based on ability, to better serve swimmers of different skill levels. Swimmers will be expected to swim 25+ yards unassisted in a full-length, deep pool, without a coach in the water. Please consider if this will be a comfortable fit for your swimmer.

Rec Team Swim Meet: On October 21, there is a Wednesday night “mini” swim meet for swimmers to showcase their skills and have fun racing! USA Swimming Flex membership is required to participate on the Rec Team. It costs an additional $30 for swimmers under 12, and $80 for 12+ for a year of membership.
