Team Registration
The AAC Swim Team is open to all swimmers up to age 18 who have passed Red Cross Level 3 or a Swimming Readiness Test (see swimmer readiness guidelines below). Swimmers must be members of the Applewood Athletic Club (Upper division (13 & older) swimmers can purchase a team membership, but all lower division swimmers must be family members of AAC).
Swimmer Readiness:
To be able to participate in Summer Swim Team @ AAC, all swimmers must be able to swim 25m freestyle without stopping and swim the backstroke. Red Cross swim lessons are also provided at most local recreation centers.
Option 1: If your child has taken swim lessons and passed “Red Cross Learn to Swim Level 3,” then you are all set. For new swimmers to swim team, please bring a copy of the Red Cross card to Swim Team registration in May.
Option 2: Show Coach Joel during Winter/Spring swim or during the first two days of swim team practice in May that your child can swim across the pool freestyle without stopping, and can swim backstroke.
We expect all swim team members to have a certain base level of skill in the water. Swim team is not the same as swim lessons, as there are more swimmers to coaches than in lessons.
If you're interested in joining the team, please fill out a registration form and bring it to practice or contact Heidi Lorenz
