Competitive Team
The 2026 Competitive Team season will run from May 26-July 25, 2026.
While there is not a strict age limit to be on the team, your child must be water-safe and able to "swim" in that they are capable of going from one end of the pool (25 meters) to the other without hanging on the lane line, walking on the bottom or panicking. They do not need to know how to swim the various strokes. Our coaching staff will help develop the strokes, and they can start swimming competitively with freestyle and backstroke before moving on to the more challenging breaststroke and butterfly. They won't be forced to swim anything they aren't ready for. With daily practices and a dose of fun, the skills and stroke development come fast!
The competitive team practices both in the morning and in the evening. Kids are not required to be at both practices but are encouraged to come to as many practices as possible. The season consists of time trials (which is a practice meet for VOSD swimmers only), followed by 6 dual meets and a Divisional meet. Time trials and three of the normal season meets are home, and three meets are away (locally within 5-40 mins away). This year, Divisionals will be at home. Our home pool is located in the Virginia Oaks neighborhood.
All meets begin at 7am on Saturday morning!
