There are generally two recognized seasons in USA Swimming: Short Course - September - March Long Course - April - August While we offer practices year round, we take a small break in March and August to separate the short course and long course seasons. While competitive club swimming does not require a seasonal commitment, swimmers hoping to achieve big goals (i.e Championship time standards, college scholarships, national recognition, etc.) typically participate year long.

USA swim meets most often occur on weekends (however they are not limited to weekends). As swimmers progress in age and ability meets can extend into 3-4 days (Thursday-Sunday). Most often championship level meets are this duration. From the Sectional to National level (meets that can occur anywhere in the U.S.) meets can be up to 6 days long lasting the entirety of a week. These meets are extremely difficult to qualify for and are attended by swimmers competing on a national level.

Your practice time will depend on which of our groups you participate in! Check out our full schedule on the website to see which groups practice when.

We require all children signing up to be able to comfortably swim one length of a 25 yard pool. If your child is not quite there yet, let us know, we can refer you to a local lessons program or possibly work with your new swimmer ourselves through private lessons. We are working on a BSL run swim school that will be able to offer your child lessons to promote them to the swim team in the near future!

Each group has a different cost associated with it. The cost of each group is relative to the amount of practice time the group receives. You can find all of these exact costs on our registration page. We have an 11 month tuition structure (Sept.- July). Each group also has a registration fee associated with it. That fee pays for coaching fees (travel, lodging, continued education, etc.), pool rental and maintenance, team equipment, and more. Each group's registration fee is also relative to the amount of practice time that group is offered.
