2026 Summer Splash Pre Team
Under USA Swimming, we are offering our Level 2-6 groups with the same excellent instruction and enthusiasm.
Pre-Team is the bridge between Swim School and our competitive swim team. Swimmers develop legal strokes, racing skills, and training habits necessary for advancement to our competitive groups.
Swimmers are periodically evaluated and may be advanced to the next level or competitive team groups at the coach’s discretion.
This program follows USA Swimming skill progression standards and prepares athletes for future competition.
Please be aware the College of the Canyons Pool will be closed all summer. We will be hosting lessons at the Castaic Aquatic Center. If you would like to participate in lessons you must register for USA swimming and join our pre team. Directions for this process is below.
