Parks & Recreation is proud to announce the tenth season of outdoor swim-team training for the annual Five-Borough Championship swimming competition.  This program will train swimmers in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly strokes, competitive starts and turns, organize teams, and run the Championship competition to be held on Saturday, August 8 at Hamilton Fish Pool in Manhattan. 

Youth between the ages of 6 and 18 who can swim a minimum of 25 meters in reasonably good form will be able to participate.  Locations and training times vary depending on the borough and pool and are subject to change. For more information and to confirm the schedules, call 311.
