This recreational swim team, sponsored by 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 a swim team environment, individual attention will be limited. Participants need not have any competitive experience, but must be able to swim 25 yards nonstop 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 Thursday April 28, 7p.m. prior to registration May 4. Tryouts will be held at the Carpenter Recreation Center, 11151 Colorado Boulevard.
The practice times will be Monday-Thursday, 6:30-9:30 a.m.
"Get Better Fridays" will be held every Friday 8-9a.m.
Individual placement within this time frame will take place after registration. More details will be given during the parent meeting held on Friday, June 3 at 6:30 p.m. at Park Village Pool, 4051 Summit Grove Pkwy. In addition, we will have swimsuit and other accessories fittings and sales.
Fees include T-shirt and award ribbons.
