We are working on our 2023 program. Please check back for details. 

While we are still working out our swim lessons options, we encourage you to consider the Waterspouts, our pre-swim team program. 

Waterspouts is aimed at swimmers ages 4-6 who can swim a little bit, independently, but aren't quite ready for the swim team. If you would like more information, please visit the swim team website or contact exscswimteam@gmail.com.

 

Swimmers who can swim at least half the length of the pool: please take a look at our Swim Team page. It is a great opportunity for swimmers to learn the strokes and gain strength and endurance in the water!
