St. Patrick Swim Team 2018 REGISTRATION
We’re so excited to offer this sport to the school and parish for the 3rd year in a row and will be thrilled to have your child(ren) on the team. We are also excited to be sharing a team with St. Teresa School again! The swim season is a 13-week program that runs from February-May.
The goal of our program will be to teach children good sportsmanship and to improve their swimming skills in an encouraging environment. Please be advised that this is competitive swimming, not swim lessons - we do not teach children to swim for the first time.
Registration (in-person): Wednesday January 24th 7:00 pm – 8:00pm
Where: Saint Teresa’s Coran Hall (Gym) Corner Victory Blvd. and Slosson Ave. Please park in school parking lot and enter through the parking lot doors. Swim registration will be held on the stage. Please do not enter from the front of the gym on Victory Blvd. because it’s being used for the basketball games.
