Homeschool

Practice During the Day!

Our Homeschool Swim Program is designed specifically for homeschool families looking for a structured, daytime athletic option in a positive and supportive team environment. Practices focus on stroke technique, fitness, confidence, and long-term swimmer development.

As our homeschool program has grown and evolved, we’ve simplified our structure to better serve swimmers of varying ages, abilities, and schedules.

To Qualify: Swimmers must have prior experience in the sport and be able to swim at least 25 yards of the four competitive strokes (with minor exception, i.e. an improper kick technique on breaststroke).​ Summer league experience and/or advancing through a lessons program would constitute sufficient prior swim experience.
