Blue Thunder Swim Team

Blue Thunder Swim Team

This team will concentrate on fundamental principles of swimming in a competitive nature and build on their stroke techniques and endurance. We want to instill values and team spirit as they progress through the season. We will be offering this to all children ages 5 and up. During the Fall, Winter and Spring months, practices are for conditioning with the possibility of a swim meet or two throughout the year.  

There will be a tryout date for swim team for NEW participants.

Registration closes a week before the start of the session if not already full. The try out date will be held one week before the start of the session. We will contact you with the details but it will likely be the same time as the scheduled practice time (5-9 years old at 6:30pm & 10-16 years old at 7:35pm).  We can make some adjustments if necessary for the tryout.  This date will also include children on the waitlist.  We will be able to let you know the next day if we can get you off the waitlist.  

Current swim team participants will not need to attend the tryouts. We are trying to eliminate the kids who’ve been signed up who either cannot swim or cannot swim well enough for it to be safe for them to be on the team. All swimmers must be able to to swim the following:  

  • 1 length of freestyle/front crawl
  • 1 length of backstroke
  • 1 length or breaststroke
  • 1 length of butterfly, doesn't have to be perfect but need basic components
  • 2 minute tread in the deep end.  
  • 5-9 years old 6:30PM-7:30PM 
  • 10-16 years old 7:35PM-8:35PM
