Do you love the water? Do you enjoy having fun? JOIN the winter swim club today! You will refine your swimming techniques, learn about sportsmanship and aquatic competition, and gain confidence as you participate in swim practices and meets. 

We are accepting all swimmers, aged 6-17, who can comfortably do the following: A) Put their heads underwater, B) hold their breath, C) exhale underwater, and D) efficiently swim 25 meters (one length of the pool) unassisted, without stopping or grabbing the lane lines, using freestyle or backstroke.

New participants must arrange to take a swim test with a lifeguard or Aquatics staff member before they may participate in Swim Club. You may show up for a swim test on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays from 5 – 6 PM during the months of November or December (Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day not included). You may also call the Aquatics Director at 812-254-4481 to schedule a test if another date is required.

Here’s some of the skills you can hope to learn this season:

• Stroke Refinement
• Increased Swim Endurance
• Keeping a positive (and fun!) attitude and atmosphere
• Balancing hard work with fun activities!
