PVRA has consistently fostered a lifelong love of the sport of swimming in our children. Our swimmers have gone on to swim competitively in both high school and college (and beyond!). It is our goal to have our kids become good swimmers while having lots of fun during the summer swim team season. They will experience the benefit of 1-on-1 coaching, fun exercises and challenging games during practices.
*Member please note: the pool will be closed to members until noon during swim team season. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We want our kids to become stronger swimmers while having lots of fun during our summer swim team season. They will have opportunities for 1-on-1 coaching, fun, and games during practices. We are excited to continue to offer Pre-Swim in the program, allowing our newest swimmers to be part of the team and move up seamlessly as their skills advance.

Who needs to be evaluated?
- Anyone new to the team
- Returning swimmers from Pre-Swim
- Returning swimmers from Swim Team who DID NOT compete in a meet last year.
How do evaluations work?
The kids will be asked to swim one length of the pool (attempting freestyle) to make the swim team. (Important: They don’t need to be good at this, but they do need to be able to safely get across the pool independently.)
If they can float on their backs and belly AND are willing to put their heads underwater, they will qualify for the Pre-Swim Team Group.
Lifeguards are IN THE WATER with the kids during evaluations, so they have someone there if they need help.
Other Helpful Swim Team Information
Swimmers should have goggles, and we recommend that those with long hair either tie it back or wear a cap (it’s much easier to swim that way and better for keeping our pool clean). Please arrive at practice 5 minutes early and be ready to swim!
Swim Practice Schedule
Swim Practice will start Wednesday, June 18, and run through Friday August 1. There will be no practice Friday, July 4!
Practice runs Monday - Friday (No practice for any ages (including Pre-Swim) on swim meet days!)
