Aug
- Registration for fall short course season with Marlins swim team. Our current plan moving forward (for team) is to offer a developmental USA Swimming competitive swimming program for ages 5-14. We will not be offering a high school training program nor will we be offering a high performance training program for age group swimmers. Our facility design lends itself nicely to a great developmental USA Swimming swim team program (everyone in our Blue & Bronze groups is at the developmental level currently).
Sept
- Marlins SCY season team practices begin
