Parks & Recreation offers young New Yorkers an opportunity to join a Parks swim team. Practice sessions are held Tuesdays and Thursdays and emphasize stroke technique, endurance and speed training, starts and turns, rules and sportsmanship.

How to Join

Team tryouts are held on an ongoing basis. Swimmers train for the Five Borough Championship meet. Youths between the ages of 6 and 18 who can swim 50 meters in reasonably good form may try out for the team. All participants are required to submit a completed application and a copy of their birth certificate before trying out. To renew your membership or to try out for a team, please call Citywide Aquatics at (718) 760-6969 ext. 0.
