CARA Swim Team 
 

YEAR-ROUND CARA SWIM TEAM IS HERE!

Our recreational swim team, affiliated with the Colorado Parks and Recreation Association, is an excellent opportunity to introduce ages 6-18 to the fun and excitement of competitive swimming.  Our coaches will work to create a nurturing environment that focuses on good sportsmanship.  Some time will be given to competitive stroke techniques, however, due to the nature of swim team environment, individual attention will be limited.  Participants need not have any competitive experience, BUT must be able to swim 25 yards/full length of the pool without stopping crawl stroke (freestyle).

This year all swimmers 9 years and under will need to attend a team tryout in order to participate on the team.  Tryouts will be held Wednesday, November 9, from 7 - 8 p.m. at the Carpenter Recreation Center pool prior to registration November 16. 

The practice times will be Monday, Tuesday & Thursday evenings at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center from 5:30 - 7:45 p.m.  Individual placement within this time frame will take place after registration.  More details will be given in a swim team packet available at the August 10 registration.  Fees include meet participations and award ribbons.
