New for 2025 - Swim Team!
The City of Niagara Falls Swim Team is back! Our Niagara Falls Swim Team gives swimmers a foundation which will encourage them to continue swimming on a lifelong basis. Our coaches will promote confidence in and out of the water and experience competitive swimming in a positive, encouraging and rewarding atmosphere. Swimmers will compete in a few regional swim meets over the summer.
Swimmers must be comfortable in deep water, be able to swim 25 metres with no assistance and jump into the deep end with comfort.
Swim Team will run June 30 until August 16. Junior Practice (6-9yrs) will be held Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5 pm to 6:30 pm. Senior Practice (10-17yrs) will be held on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 5 pm to 6:30 pm. All practices will be held at Lions Club Pool.
Cost: $153 (includes swim meets, swim cap)
Registration is now open on ActiveNet.
