Competitive Swim
This is our 6 month competitive swim team for swimmers ages 4-18. At CAC, we teach our youth the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, kindness, and integrity while maintaining a constructive, family-friendly environment. Practices are offered Monday through Friday; come on some days or all days - there are NO minimum commitments to attending practices. The pool and coaches will be ready for you when your schedule allows. Coaches conduct circuits and clinics throughout the season to keep it fun and fine tune specific techniques. Coaches also organize activities and relays for fun Fridays monthly to allow swimmers to celebrate their hard work.
Program: Oct 1 - Mar 22
Practices: Practices are held at Carlynton High School.
Swimmers ages 8 & Under will practice Mon - Fri from 6:00pm - 7:00pm.
Swimmers ages 9-10 will practice Mon - Fri from 6:00pm - 7:15pm.
Swimmers ages 11 & Over will practice Mon - Fri from 7:00 - 8:45pm.
The separate practice times ensure a safe aquatic environment, allow for more athlete/coach interaction, and sufficient space in the pool to efficiently practice.
Meets: Home swim meets are held on Saturday mornings (9a-1p). We typically have 8 meets throughout the season, half home/away culminating in a champs meet in March.
Meets are a perfect opportunity for swimmers to compete and witness their continuous improvement. Meets will last 3-6 hours and up to 90 minutes of travel may be necessary for some away meets. Home meets are held at Carlynton High School and run by volunteers. Swimmers are not required to attend them all, but must attend a minimum of 4 meets throughout the season to qualify for Champs in late March.
Equipment: Swimmers will provide their own suit, goggles, and caps. CAC provides all other equipment necessary for practice and meets.
Cost: $375 1st swimmer, $100 for each sibling
Qualifications: Swimmers must be able to safely and consistently swim the length of the pool to participate in our full season competitive swimming program.
