JOIN THE TEAM! The MARLIN TEAM!

The Mount Sequoyah Marlins Swim Team is ready for your swimmer to j oin in the Fun! Do you want your child to learn to Swim Better, Build Endurance and enjoy Friendly Competition? We are the TEAM for you!

We offer practices on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings during June and July. You can register for either - or both - months.

Swimmers ages 5 through 18 years old who can swim one length of the pool – unassisted – and are comfortable swimming on their back are the PERFECT candidates! (PARENTS…your child does not need to be able to swim correctly, only to make it across the pool unassisted. It is our job as coaches to teach them the proper technique to cross the pool correctly….in all four strokes!)

$75 per month A great value for 11 practices and meets with ribbons!! (We do not take attendance, so no worries about missing a day or a week. We keep the price reasonable to accommodate missed weeks due to camp or vacations. )

June session – June 9-July 2 July session – July 7 - 30

*****New This Summer – A Heated Pool!!! So the early morning swimmers will warm-up nicely!****** Practice Times on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday mornings: 9:00-10:00 a.m. - Blue Marlins (ages 10 & up) 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. - Striped Marlins (ages 8-9) 11:00 – 12:00 a.m. - White Marlins (ages 5-7) (Group assignments may change depending on a child’s ability level.
