  Open to both
Resident and Non-Resident students of Mohonasen School
District
Students in
grades K-12 are welcome to participate in Mohonasen's Age Group Swim
Club which introduces
students to competitive swimming while building their skills.
Whether you're a beginner or an advanced swimmer, there's a place for
you on this team!
The
Mohonasen Swim Club competes in the North Country League
in the fall/winter season and the Suburban League in the
summer season. The Club is sponsored by the Mohonasen
Central School District. The club seeks to provide
positive experiences for all its members by offering a
program, which is challenging, yet fun. While emphasis
on swimming strokes, techniques and speed are our main
focus; our program also strives to develop character,
sportsmanship and an enjoyment of swimming as a lifelong
activity.
The
swim club is self-funded by the parents and swimmers
through fundraising, registration fees, concession stand
and donations. The club is responsible for coach's
salaries, league and meet fees, ribbons and awards, end
of season banquet and misc. supplies to maintain the
club.
The only prerequisite skills are the
ability to swim 25 yards freestyle, be able to swim 25 yards back stroke
and be "deep water safe." As a general rule of thumb, any
student who has passed Level 4 in Mohonasen's Saturday Learn-to-Swim
classes would be amply qualified to participate in the Swim Club.
Swimmers will be divided into groups according to
ability, rather than age. The Summer season runs from
June-August and the Fall/Winter Season runs from
October-February. Click here for practice schedules, meet dates and fees.

Swimmers are given instruction in all four competitive strokes (butterfly, back
stroke, breast stroke and freestyle). They also learn racing dives,
turns and other rules of competitive swimming.
