Swim Team - "The Slugs"

The Oaklands Swim Team had a fantastic 2007 Swim Season.  Several new Team and Pool records have been set and the team improved tremendously!  The Slugs finished 2nd in the White Division of the Suburban Swim League with a 6-1 record.  Way to go, SLUGS!

Our 2008 Season is starting a little slower, but we are pushing hard and having a great time still.

Please note that you must be a member / rental member of the pool in order to join the team.  Our team includes swimmers of all ages, abilities, and experience levels!  As long as you can swim the length of the pool you can join the team.  While swim team helps build self-confidence and improve swimming ability, it is a great way for the kids to meet "pool friends."  We have a GREAT group of kids who enthusiastically welcome new members.

 Participation Fee

  • First swimmer per family, $45
  • Additional swimmers in same family, $40 each

If you are not a team member, please make plans to join us for the 2008 season.  Why?  There is a real sense of teamwork within this group.  Many of the kids become each other's best friends.  There is great support for each swimmer, whether just starting out or leading their event or age group.  The same can be said for the group of parents that volunteer as timers, judges, snack bar host and hostesses, and so on.  The junior coaches make the similar contributions in time and energy to support the Oaklands Slugs.  Altogether, it is a wonderful group of people who provide a great environment for kids to have fun, exercise, discipline, and some friendly competition as well.  It would be a delight to have you join with us.
