This program is designed to introduce the sport of competitive swimming as well as to challenge those who have already participated in competitive swimming.

Completing Swim Strokes 4 (Formerly Starfish/Minnow levels) are encouraged to participate, but continued swim lessons through Swim Strokes 5-6 (Formerly Flying Fish) are encouraged. Swim team participants receive 50% off of the member rate for group swim lessons.

The winter program runs from the beginning of November through the end of March, and the Summer Program runs from the end of April through the end of July.
