St. Patrick Swim Team 2019 

REGISTRATION

---

2019 Swim Team Registration is now open! We are so excited to offer this sport to the school and parish for the 4th 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.

Who: The swim team is open to all children in the school and parish in Grades 1-8 only.

Cost: $190 one child, $290 two children, $390 three children

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.
