Division Classification – all participants are classified with maximum age limitations.

Regular Season: Sportsmanship

We look to train swimmers in both the sport and sportsmanship. Swimmers will be expected to cheer for their teammates and conclude meets with a cheer for the other team. To that end, all swimmers are expected to remain on the pool deck until the meet concludes. In the 2022-23 and 2023-24 season, our team won the Sportsmanship award and we would like to continue that tradition. 

Thank you and we look forward to a great season!!
