Swim Team

Swim team is open to all Heritage children up to 17 years of age. We compete in the Colonial League and have meets on Saturday mornings. Swimmers compete in the following age divisions: 6 and under, 8 and under, 10 and under, 12 and under, 14 and under, and 17 and under. All swimmers are encouraged to attend morning practices Monday through Friday once school is out. The practice times are as follows:

June 14th - until school is out

Monday-Friday

5:00-6:00  10 y.o. and younger

6:00-7:00 12 y.o. and older

Beginning June 23rd until the rest of the season

Monday-Friday

7:45-8:45  12 y.o. and older

9:00-10:00 10 y.o. and younger

How can I help with the Swim and Dive Team?

All events in the league are run by volunteers. At every home meet we must supply at least 18 volunteers and away meets require at least 12 volunteers. We also need volunteers for the all-star meet, the Colonial Classic meet, Championships and other special events. We ask that all parents of swimmers and divers volunteer for at least two slots if you have one child participating. Sign up sheets will be available on June 5th and will be posted at the club. Working a meet is fun, makes the time go by faster, and provides a great opportunity to get to know the other parents. There are many different types of volunteers needed so there are jobs for all interests.

 An exceptional opportunity to help is to become a stroke and turn official. A Stroke and Turn Clinic is held at date tbd where you are taught how to officiate a meet.
