Spanish Fork Summer Swim Team (UVSSL)
A summer Swim Team is available for boys and girls up to age 18 interested in competitive swimming. Swimmers must be able to swim at least 25 yards. Swimmers must be strong in freestyle, backstroke and have a knowledge of a third racing stroke (backstroke or butterfly). Due to the popular demand of being on the swim team, spots will be limited for pool space. Swimmers must compete in at least 2 meets to qualify for County Meets. Swimmers will receive group instruction on the four racing strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly), starts and turns. Practices will be held on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. Swim team practices will be broken into three separate practices according to skill level. Level 3 at 6:00-7:30 a.m., Level 2 at 7:30-8:30 a.m., Level 1 at 8:30-9:15 a.m. Levels will be assigned by the coaches. Practice will begin on Thursday, May 31 and run through Thursday, July 19. Swimmers that are participating in the County Meets will continue to practice during the week of the county meets.
Swim team try-outs are required for swimmers who have not been on the Swim Team before to make sure they meet the minimum requirement (swimming 25 yards). Try-outs are on Tuesday, May 29 at 7:30 a.m. at the Water Park.
