The Parks and Recreation Aquatics Division sponsors a competitive summer swim league.

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, with new friendships and with great memories.

The first date of registration for all participants will be Saturday, April 10th, 2010 at the Aquatic Office (911 S. Ochoa, Suite A) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. All other registrations will be conducted between the office hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday- Friday except for city holidays at the Aquatics Office (911 S.
