Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the goals of the team?
The Nassau Swim Team is designed to teach the fundamentals of competitive swimming. It is our goal that each child enjoys the thrill of competition, but more importantly, enjoys the thrill of participation! In a sport where success of a team is dependent upon success of the individual, our goal is to provide a program where every child can improve! Swimming is about health, fitness, and fun… so let’s work hard and have a lot of fun!
The Nassau Marlins swim team is open to all Nassau members, 18 & under, who can swim at least 25 meters of freestyle. Members of the Club may participate in both practice and swim meets. With permission from the coach, other swimmers may practice with the team providing they show proof of appropriate insurance coverage.
The team is organized by age. The age groups are: 8 and under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14 and 15-18. 8 and under typically practice as the green group, and the 15-18 are gold. The other 3 groups usually blend between black, silver and gold depending on swimming ability and an individuals dedication to practice. Contact a member of the coaching staff with questions regarding practice and meet sign-ups.
When and where does the team practice?
The USS team will begin practice at the end of April and will conclude at the end of July. These swimmers are registered with USA Swimming and will pay a fee consistent with YSC. USS swimmers who are Nassau members will practice with the Nassau swim team.
