Future Marlins

The Future Marlins program provides group training for children who can swim 15 meters of the pool unassisted. The focus is on proper breathing, stroke technique, and building endurance. Future Marlins can transfer to the competitive team when they are able to swim freestyle for one full length of the pool unassisted (keeping their face in the water with minimal stopping) and one full length of another stroke.

• Designed for swimmers ages approximately 4–9
• Runs 4–5 days/week (M–F) for 4 weeks
• Practice is 45 minutes

Evening Sessions: Each session offers an evening option on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 5:00–5:45 PM.

Marlins Swim Team

The Marlins swim team is both developmental and competitive, designed to involve the entire family through enjoyable social activities. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced swimmer, everyone is welcome! New swimmers must be able to swim one full length of the pool unassisted in freestyle (with minimal stopping) and one other stroke.

Volunteer Updates (Yes, You Read That Right!)

Big news: the volunteer fee has been eliminated entirely! Every family now has a minimum volunteer commitment — check the Handbook for full details. Here's the important part: swimmer participation and meet eligibility depend on parent/guardian volunteer sign-ups. 

We're all in this together, and your involvement is what keeps our team thriving!
