Membership & Important Registration Information

We continue to be bombarded with inquiries regarding our program. While flattering, it puts us in a difficult position. We have many fine swimmers who understand our expectations and want to make a commitment to our program if offered the opportunity. We are asking that current and prospective swimmers and parents reflect and evaluate their commitment.
