The Parks and Recreation Aquatics Division provides a competitive summer swim league as well as other programs such as swim lessons to prepare swimmers for summer swim league.
The Aquatic Division is dedicated to give all children a fair and equal opportunity to participate in all programs.
The goal of the summer league program is to stimulate an interest in competitive swimming and provide a means through which youth may learn leadership, the principles of good sportsmanship, values of physical fitness, advanced aquatic skills, encourage and develop teamwork, establish a love for the sport of swimming, and community spirit.
We hope that each swimmer will leave the team with basic skills in all four competitive strokes, with a love of swimming, and with new friendships and great memories.
