Swim Leagues

Blue Makos
Dive into action with the Blue Makos! Are you into speed, competition, and perfecting your technique? Strut your stuff in this pre-competitive league, racing against other pools in Portland at quarterly mock-swim meets. Receive one hour per week of expert coaching in a fun, supportive environment. Participants will be given instruction on butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle, including competitive dives and turns. It is a great place to begin your journey to competitive swimming. Available Fall, Winter & Spring terms.

Summer Swim League
A pre-competitive swim program for youth through age 17. Participants must be able to swim the length of the pool: front crawl stroke and backstroke. (This correlates to passing Sea Lion level in the PP&R swim lesson program.)
