Q. Does my child/ or do I have to compete?

A. Competition is an individual choice that originates from creating goals at any age or level. Talk to your coach about appropriate goals for you and/or your swimmer. Any swimmer can compete at most invitational meets. Check swim meets for events in your swimmers age category. Categories include: 8 and under, 9 & 10, 11 & 12, Open, and Masters. Competition is encouraged as a measurement of improvement but is not the only qualitative way to measure success for Club Members.

Q. Do you provide swimming for older swimmers who want to get back in shape?

A. Swimming is a life-long activity with incredible health benefits for any one. Any swimmer joining practices must be registered with USA swimming. The level at which you participate is a personal choice. Several options are available between the casual and the serious competitor. USA Swimming welcomes members at any age to compete during there invitational meets in the open categories. Masters swimming is recommended  for any one over 18 who casually trains but wants to compete for fun. Masters compete in mixed events( men with women) 18 and up. You may just end up swimming next to a 65year old who still swims like they are 22.
