WHO CAN JOIN?

Any child 5 years or older that can swim 25 yards of any stroke.  You do not have to be invited to join.  There is a place in our program for swimmers of all ages and abilities.

IS THERE A PLACE FOR ME?

If you want to swim just for fun...swim to do better in the Roanoke Valley Aquatic Association...swim to improve for your high school team...swim for fitness...or train to be an Olympian, we have a place for you!

FLEXIBLE PRACTICE SCHEDULE

Young swimmers are offered more practice than they are expected to attend, and they are encouraged to participate in other extracurricular activities.  Practice group size is limited to ensure individual attention.  As swimmers get older and more experienced, their expectations and commitment level gradually increase.

WHY SWIM YEAR ROUND?

1. Low injury, a lifetime sport

2. Super health conditioning benefit

3. Teaches self-discipline, time management, and goal setting at an early age

4. All swimmers can compete, regardless of ability

5. Develop life-long friendships in a fun and team-oriented environment

WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL?

Not only does swimming develop the body, but it also develops self-esteem, self-discipline, goal setting, and good work habits.  Many of our children represent honor roll students and students enrolled in gifted programs from various school districts.

WHAT ABOUT FUN?

Yes, there is work involved, but there is also a lot of fun!  You make new friends and share many experiences with them.  Comaraderie of swimmers is encouraged through fun travel trips, sleepovers, pizza parties, and lots of good times.
