Team Requirements

Ages 6-18 - If you can swim a lap in the pool you're ready to start swim team!
​We’re a competitive team and we acknowledge and encourage both individual and team successes, but attending competitive meets is not required to be part of our team. Coming to practices with a commitment to improve a little bit every day is required--and any swimmer who follows that rule is already a champion.

Equipment

All swimmers should have their own:
  • Swimsuit
  • Goggles
  • Towel

The lighter side of Swim Team!

Community

There are a lot of individual events in competitive swimming, but every member of the team is part of our community of swimmers. Team members are expected to support one another at all times, both in and out of the pool. Older, experienced swimmers are encouraged to mentor, teach, and watch over younger athletes at both practices and competitions.

Coaching

Our coach, Rick Burkman, is here to help athletes learn proper racing techniques, giving them the skills to increase their endurance and speed in the water, fostering the life-long exercise of self-discipline, and encouraging every individual to do their personal best at every practice, in every competition, and in daily life. Along the way we will emphasize the fun of competing, the camaraderie of teamwork, and the thrill of challenging yourself to reach your goals.

Our focus is to encourage healthy habits and maintain a positive outlook while perfecting your skills on your way to becoming a better swimmer. If you’re still swimming 50 years from now, then we’ve met our goal.

Parents

Parents and caregivers are important members of the Bay Area Swim Team. Transporting swimmers to practices and meets is a big job; being a sounding board for those frustrating practices is an act of patience; and making sure the homework is done sometimes means perseverance and even more patience. Thank you for all that you do!

Please make sure that we have your email address--it is our main form of communicating directly with you.  We will also have a waiver and contact info sheet for you to fill out the first night of practice.
