Chandler Aquatic’s recreational Swim Team is a great way to introduce talented swimmers to a friendly, competitive atmosphere that’s safe, fun, and exciting. Summer-only, teams provide children with the motivation they need to continually improve their skills and strokes and build self-esteem and lasting friendships.
Swim Teams are open to individuals ages 5 1/2 to 18 years old. Swimmers ages 5 1/2 - 10 must be able to complete one lap (25 yards) of both freestyle and backstroke. Swimmers ages 11-18 must be able to complete two laps (50 yards) of both freestyle and backstroke to participate in Swim Team.

Local Swim Team Partners
Chandler Aquatics partners with several other swim clubs in the area to support and develop the potential of children and teens who are interested in a swim team experience.
Registration is open to individuals, ages 5 1/2 to 18 and must be able to perform freestyle and backstroke with some proficiency.
- 5½ to 10 years old - MUST be able to swim continuously for 25 yards freestyle with rotary breathing AND 25 yards of backstroke.
- 11 to 17 years old - MUST be able to swim continuously for 50 yards freestyle with rotary breathing AND 50 yards of backstroke.
Registration is age specific. The cutoff date for the age verification is June 1 of the upcoming season. Your child must be 5½ on or before this date. You must register your child in their age group category despite their swimming ability. For example, if your child is 7 years of age he/she cannot be registered for the 9-10 year-old age group.
Swim Team Prep Academy is held prior to the Summer Swim team season and is highly encouraged for new participants to ensure their skill ability and readiness for the summer season.
Priority registration will be given to all Chandler residents registering for our swimming lesson programs and recreation swim teams.
Residents will be granted one week of priority registration for these programs. After one week, the registration process will be open to non-residents, if sufficient space exists in the program/class.
To ensure all individuals have an opportunity to participate in our lesson program. Enrollees will only be allowed to register for one program per season.
