Swim Central
Be your very best! Become a STAR! This team is committed to supporting swimmers at every level. Whether you're developing the proper mechanics of competitive strokes or looking for advanced stroke refinement and improving endurance, you will experience high level training in an environment that is based on a sportsmanship, responsibility, self-discipline, and self-confidence. STARS is a competitive recreational team that is open to anyone ages 6-18 able to swim at least four lengths of the pool (100 yards). Swimmers should also be able to swim two lengths (50 yards) in each of the four competitive strokes LEGALLY. Our goal is to encourage a love of swimming and develop swimmers into the very best competitors they can be. This is an inclusive recreational program that welcomes all team members and encourages growth based on the individual's personal goals and abilities. To ensure our team members receive the specific training needed to be successful and stay motivated; our experienced coaching staff will evaluate each swimmer's individual ability and needs before determining group placement. Our team participates in local competitions in Northern and Western suburbs during the summer season. Participation in these meets are optional and up to the individual swimmer.
