Our Recreational swim team is part of the Memphis Swim Conference, a developmental swim conference. This conference invites swimmers to participate in a competitive environment and still have fun no matter what the skill level. Swimmers of all skill levels are encouraged to participate but, must be able to comfortably swim across the lap pool. We practice all year round and compete in both the Winter and the Summer Seasons.
