Swim Team - The HMCC Dolphins

One of the best experiences for children at HMCC is to participate on the swim-team. Dolphin veterans will say it is how they made wonderful friends, learned to be a stronger swimmer, and had a ton of fun celebrating with pool games and pizza after the meets. Swimmers are grouped according to age and ability level. See below for more information:

Swim Team Fees: $75.00 per swimmer up to $150.00 maximum per family. Payment will be charged to your Club account.
There are 6 meets, usually on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from late June through July.
Parents must provide their own transportation to and from meets for their children.
Swimmers should be able to attend practices during the week and commit to attending most meets.
If there are conflicts with other sports, please see the swim coach to make alternative arrangements as we would rather your child swim than not swim do to schedule conflicts.
All swimmers should be at the designated meet site by 3:45pm; meets usually end by 6:30.
A pizza party follows every HOME meet.
Parents are requested to volunteer at least twice to help with home meets.

Junior and Senior Swim Team

Team swimsuit and swim cap required.

Pre-Team

Monday-Thursday, 11:30-12.
For any swimmer who would like to become a swim team member but would struggle to swim a full length of the pool.
A minimal Red Cross Level 3 skill is required. Those who are not at Level 3 should be in swim lessons. Once this level is achieved, they may join at any time during the season. The Pool Director can assist with placement questions.
This program is intended to teach what it is like to be part of a team with structured practices, trying new things that may be hard at first, being a good teammate and having fun.
Pre-team will only participate in home meets and will have an optional, informal race which takes place in the shallow end of the pool.
