SUMMER LEAGUE
The next step in the swim team program serves as a continuation of what is learned in the School
League. The summer swim team involves kids 5 - 18 years old who work on the techniques of competitive
swimming, including all the strokes, starts and turns. The competition
heats up as the team competes in the Kanawha Valley Swim League against various teams from Charleston,
WV. The Summer League runs June through July and involves some travel to clubs in the Kanawha Valley.
Prerequisites: School League experience strongly encouraged. Ages 5
