Kids love being on the Swim Team!

Summer's here and all round North Charlotte kids are competing on their Neighborhood Swim Team as their families cheer them on.

Most subdivisions with a pool have a Swim Team (Davis Lake, Wellington, Highland Creek, Radbourne, Skybrook, North Stone etc.) and this is a great opportunity not only for the kids to improve their skills but for the whole community to come together in a fun environment.  Attending a Swim Team meet is like a big neighborhood pep rally as one community competes against another.  Children as a young as 4 compete in races as their parents hang out together by the pool.  Friendships are built, swimming skills are developed, neighbors bond.  The bonds overflow into the community as the teams raise funds at garage sales and local restaurant nights.  

Not all kids who live in a subdivision will attend school together - but during the summer Swim Team allows children and their families to find friendships close to home - and those friendships last from year to year as they meet up pool side to race again.  

Of course being a strong swimmer is a great benefit but these kids learn a lot more than freestyle and gain a lot more than race ribbons as their whole families share these great Summer friendships around the community pool.
