City Swim Team

New Swimmers, if you are looking to participate on the Swordfish team we take new swimmers in May for our summer season.  Information will come out this spring for our sign-up day. [You must try out by swimming 25 meters freestyle and 25 meters backstroke.]

Indoor Season, registered participants from our previous Summer season are eligible to participate in the following Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions.  Our indoor season runs from September – May.  Keep an eye out for each session online.

Junior Flippers is a great prep practice program for those that swim for another JSL team, previous Swordfish that didn’t register for the summer team, and kids that just want to be stronger in the water.  [Must be able to swim 50 meters freestyle and 50 meters backstroke and are 8+ in age.]  We have seasonal sign-ups online.
