[quote=Anonymous]NVSL is the league that covers summer rec swim team in your area, OP. They have teams at a number of outdoor (and therefore summer-only) neighborhood pools.  You can look up NVSL pools to find a few near you, then ask those pools about their wait list and mini team program.  Generally you have to be a member of the pool before you can join a swim team, mini or regular.

The NVSL season runs from early June to late July, so it's almost over for this year. You might want to look into stroke classes during the rest of the year, and try to join a pool team next summer (but depending on the pool, you might be to get on a wait list, so don't put off looking into it).

Kids love it because it's neighborhood-based, so they are swimming with friends from school or neighborhood. The teams usually make it a lot of fun. Some are more intense, others are more laid back and chill.

As noted, requirements to join the mini program varies by pool, but it often requires some ability to swim, whether it's a few years or 25m.  It's not a learn-to-swim program, it's an introduction to swim team - learn the specific strokes for swim team, build stamina, learn a safe diving start, and most of all have fun so that they beg their parents to sign them up for the real swim team in a year or two  :).[/quote]
