Swim with the Best: Join a Parks Swim Team
October 14 - December 20, 2008
Parks & Recreation invites you to join its swim team. Practice sessions will emphasize competition swimming strokes, starts and turns, rules, and sportsmanship. The swim teams train to compete in swim meets during the fall and winter seasons, and this spring’s Citywide Borough Cup Championship.
Youth between the ages of 6 and 18 who can swim 50 yards in reasonably good form may try out for the team. Locations and training times vary depending on the pool. Participating pools listed below.
