Competitive Nature of Team
Q: How “competitive” is it?
Q: Does my child have to be a fast swimmer to be on the team?
Q: Will they “fit-in” and have fun if they are not a fast swimmer?
A: Summer swim team is a competitive sport suitable for all levels of swimmer and is disability inclusive. It's a wonderful blend of team and individual sports where swimmers experience the camaraderie of a team environment and everyone on the team gets to compete against other swimmers of the same age, gender, and ability. Beginners to advanced swimmers will work hard, have fun, gain a sense of belonging, and experience the pride of individual accomplishment.
