TEAMS
From age 5 through 18, we have an ideal group for your swimmer.
Swimming is a competitive sport, and a life-long activity that contributes to health and fitness. Our team is divided into separate squads to address both the development and commitment of your swimmer. Since kids are involved in many other activities, we offer both once-per-week and multiple-times-per-week options to help parents balance their children's schedules and commitments. And no volunteer hours or fundraising requirements!
Daland Swim Team is a member USA Swimming, apart of our Local Swim Conference (LSC) Southern California Swimming and is in the Coastal Committee. All swimmers on The Daland Swim Team must be registered with USA Swimming before participating in practice. You will receive emailed instruction once you sign up for team.
Swim - Stronger - Faster - Smarter
We focus on building confidence through recognition of individual improvements in practice and race times, rather than place finish. An emphasis on stroke technique and a gradual increase in commitment to the sport will foster a love for swimming, while also minimizing burnout. We prepare our athletes for high school swimming. Often, we have a coach in the water to assist with individual stroke corrections. Our program includes dryland training to build core strength and increase flexibility. Come for a TRY-OUT and see which group is the best fit for your swimmer. Try-outs are Monday-Friday 4:00pm or Saturday 8:30am. call for an appointment (805) 495-5210
