PAXTON AQUATIC WILDCATS SWIM TEAM
Swim Team registration is STILL open! Registration deadline is July 1. Print out your UPDATED registration form and return to the Park District off on or before the July 1 deadline. *Update on the swim season...all signs to still having a swim team season, albeit, a prorated one. Team will still swim in five meets plus a mock meet. The other difference for this season is that will we not be accepting registration from those who are too young and/or who cannot swim the entire length of the pool without assistance. This choice is being made to allow for the experienced swimmers to get more practice time in. You can view the most up to date swim meet schedule on the registration form. Check out Paxton Aquatic Wildcats on Facebook for a daily swim practice plan while we are waiting to get practice started at our pool. |
