Go Gators!
To join the swim team you must be a member of Colony West Swim Club and be between the ages of 5 and 18 on June 1st. Additionally you must be able swim one length of the pool unassisted.
The Gators are a competitive swim team in the Illinois Mid State Conference. While the Gators are a competitive team, we still emphasis fun and good sportsmanship to all our swimmers, regardless of ability or speed.
Joining the Gators is a great way for CWSC kids to meet others at the pool. Hundreds of swimmers who started at CWSC have gone on to join high school swim teams, year round teams, and collegiate teams. The early connections they make here at CWSC continue on throughout their swimming careers.
While the Gators swim coaches do not expect swimmers to know everything about competitive swim or have perfect stroke, to ensure the safety of all swimmers we require they are able to swim one length unassisted. For swimmers who are not yet at that level, we offer swim lessons to help improve their skills and strength.
