MT. LEBANON AQUA CLUB – COMPETITIVE SWIMMING
We offer programming for swimmers of all abilities ages 5 and up. Membership in the Aqua Club indicates a desire to pursue competitive swimming as a regular activity.
For our age group programs, the ages listed below are general guidelines; in addition to grouping children by age, we also group them by ability and experience. Also note that attending every practice is not a requirement to remain on the team; we are simply letting you know how many practices we schedule per week for each group.
Novice Group – this is our beginning competitive swimming group. Swimmers are typically ages 5-9. This group practices 3 times per week for an hour at a time.
Age Group 1 and 2 – these groups have mastered the four competitive strokes and range in age from 7-12. These groups have 4-5 practices per week and the practices are generally one hour to an hour and a half.
Junior Group – most members of the Junior group have been swimming for several years and are of middle school age. This is a more committed group of swimmers who have an opportunity to train 6 days per week for an hour and a half to two hours at a time.
HOW TO JOIN THE AQUA CLUB
Fall Registration – We will be registering new swimmers September 8 -10th. Please attend one of the following:
- Minnows –We offer a free 3-day “swim camp” for interested swimmers. This year’s Minnows program will run from 5:15 – 6 pm on Tuesday, September 8 through Thursday, September 10. We encourage you to do this program.
- Open Tryouts – The Club also will hold open tryouts on Tuesday – Thursday, September 8-10 from 6:00 – 6:15 pm.
Our coaches will be present to observe interested swimmers and make sure they are placed in the appropriate group after Minnows and Open Tryouts. We encourage doing the Minnows program to ensure proper group placement. We look forward to seeing you in September!!

LESSONS AND PRE-COMPETITIVE PROGRAMMING
Swim Lessons – Our swim lesson program will continue this fall with lessons starting Saturdays in September and running for 10 weeks.
Blue Groups – Our “Blue Groups” can be thought of as “competitive swimming light.” This program is for swimmers who no longer need lessons but who are not yet ready to join the competitive swim program. There are 2 groups that swim for an hour each on Saturdays starting in September and running for 10 weeks. These groups often serve as a springboard to membership with the Club for those who wish to pursue swimming as a regular activity.
