PREREQUISITES:  The Aquadogs swim club is for swimmers from 6 to 18 years of age who have passed Level 5 of a Red Cross swim program, or who have the skills to do so (click here for skill list).  Stroke technique does not need to be perfect, and swimmers interested in joining the team may visit a practice anytime (up to two weeks at no charge, however Aquatic Center admission may apply).  If swimmers are unsure of their abilities, our coaches are happy to evaluate swim skills during a visit and to offer recommendations.  To arrange times to visit, or get more information, please contact our Membership Chair, Kelly Paino, at 665-3994 or kellypaino@att.net.  An appointment must be made prior to visiting a practice or joining the team.

 

INVOLVEMENT:  Once joining the Aquadogs, swimmers/parents choose their own schedule and level of commitment based on the practice options offered (see Practices).  Some swimmers choose to practice at a competition level, while other swimmers prefer to practice at a recreational level.  Swimmers are also broken down into groups of Preps, Whites, Reds, and Blues according to age and ability.  Competitive swimmers can select from several meets throughout the year in which to compete, while recreational swimmers can swim to gain technique and take advantage of the great conditioning swimming offers.

COST:  Cost of team membership depends on a swimmer's participation and skill level (click here for Fees).  Additionally, if a swimmer desires to attend swim meets there is typically an entrance fee, which varies for each meet (click here for Meet Information).
