Chandler Aquatic’s recreational Swim Team is a great way to introduce talented swimmers to a friendly, competitive atmosphere that’s safe, fun, and exciting. Summer-only, teams provide children with the motivation they need to continually improve their skills and strokes and build self-esteem and lasting friendships.
Swim Teams are open to individuals ages 5 1/2 to 18 years old. Swimmers ages 5 1/2 - 10 must be able to complete one lap (25 yards) of both freestyle and backstroke. Swimmers ages 11-18 must be able to complete two laps (50 yards) of both freestyle and backstroke to participate in Swim Team.
