The Wes Deist Aquatic Center’s Polar Bear Swim Team is for children in grades K – 6^th.   There will be two different teams that the swimmers can register for.  Practices will be coached at the swimmer’s level.  Swimmers will have 11 practices and 1 swim meet.  Participants must be able to swim both front crawl and backstroke at least 25 yards, & across the deep end with good form (most practices will be swam in the 25 yd lanes). 

The program goal is to provide participants with the opportunity to become better swimmers, develop sportsmanship, improve physical fitness, and have fun in a low competitive environment.  Practicing the four competitive strokes with correct starts and turns will be emphasized.  Swimmers participate in events for the swim meet according to their age groups (K-3^rd & 4^th-6^th).  Swimmers must be registered team members and attend practices to be eligible to swim in the meet.  To help keep the program affordable, swimmers are not required to purchase team suits or travel long distances to meets.
