Portland Parks & Recreation is super excited to bring back Summer Swim Teams for 2022. Each of our summer pools will have coaches leading teams through hour-long practices Monday–Friday. Swimmers will work on the four main competitive strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle), starts and turns and building up their swimming endurance.

Due to very low staffing levels in our Aquatic division, we will not be able to coordinate running swim meets this summer; there will be no dual meets nor a Championship event for 2022. Each team will have a few sessions throughout summer where they will have fun races, relay events or run through a full meet lineup of races during their normal practice hours. We do hope to bring back weekend competitions next year. Our Summer Swim League program is still designed as a novice, competitive experience developed to enable kids to have a fun swim team experience. This league is not intended for club swimmers. Eligible participants must be able to swim past our Sea Lion level: able to swim the length of the pool in both front crawl and back crawl.

A team swim cap and a team t-shirt will be issued for each participant.
