Alma Swim Club Intro

The Alma Swim Club is a competitive/instructional swim organization made up of 125 area swimmers ages 6-18.  We swim separate fall-winter-summer seasons. The club is open to anyone able to swim 1 pool length- 25 yards - comfortably.  We accommodate both competitive and instructional interests.   There is no requirement to compete, however competition is a great way to measure progress.  About half the club membership swim for the instruction and physical activity alone while the other half also competes. All competitions are organized on the basis of age, gender, and ability ensuring suitable competition for all. The club is divided into 2 main groups, a Junior stroke development group and a Senior training group. Both groups are subdivided into several levels so we can accommodate a wide variety of ages, skills, and interests.

Those swimmers choosing to compete will have the opportunity to do so at a very high level. Since 1980 Alma swimmers competing at both the High School and Club level have 1)  have won 55  individual state meet titles 2)  placed in the top ten team standings 28 times including 4 team titles  3) earned over 155 individual All  State awards and 26 All American awards 4)  and set 11 state records. Over 52 of those swimmers continued their swimming at the collegiate level at schools that include Michigan State, Michigan, Northwestern, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Virginia, Kenyon, Alma, Hope, Olivet, Kalamazoo, William and Mary, Brown, Princeton, Wellsley, Wayne State, Hillsdale, Grinnell, Eastern Michigan, Miami,  Southern Illinois, Saginaw Valley, Sioux Falls and more.

We swim 3 separate seasons each year.  The fall season runs  from mid August thru late October- the winter season runs late October thru early March- and the summer season begins in early May  and continues thru the end of July.  The fall season is for hs age swimmers only while the winter and summer seasons include all ages.  The fee schedule varies depending on season and practice group. Fees for each season are posted on the upcoming season notice posted elsewhere on this site.

There is no practice/attendance policy for Junior level swimmers,  everyone chooses when to swim.  Swimmers making  half of the practices will still make significant improvements.  Senior group swimmers must make enough practices to be able to keep up in their training lane. Most new swimmers start in the Junior group although there are exceptions for 12 and over swimmers with advances swimming skills. Within the 2 practice groups there are several sub levels and kids move thru those levels at their own speed.

To join us- please fill out a club registration form on our website--almaswimming.weebly.com-- and then register in person for the upcoming season.     Full details about each  season will be posted on our website about 30 days before the season begins.  If you need further info please get in touch at jhuxley48@gmail.com
