2026 SWANSON SWIM TEAM
Swanson Sharks swim team is great for kids looking for a summer activity, those who would like to become better swimmers, swimmers who have recently graduated from swim lessons and would like to learn their strokes, as well as competitive swimmers who would like another place to practice and have fun! This is a low-pressure and fun introduction to competitive swimming.
We are thrilled to be welcoming back Coach Danny and Coach Matthew this year. Coach Ethan will also be joining our coaching crew. He has been a lifeguard as well as a swim lessons teacher for a few years at Swanson, so he will be a familiar face to many of you!

(*doggy paddle and its infinite variations are copacetic, but repeatedly touching the bottom/side/lane-lines is/are not) If you are unsure you can email with any questions to swansonpoolreg@gmail.com.
