Swim Club
Swim Club
NECC Swim Club is for swimmers who want to practice swim strokes, build confidence in the water, get a good workout, meet new friends and have fun! Swim Club is open to swimmers over the age of 8 who swim at Level 6 and above and should have a general understanding of the four main swim strokes, freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. Each Swim Club day has a max of 20 swimmers.
The NECC Summer Swim Club transitions to competitive swimming while providing stroke instruction, building confidence and offering a supportive, fun and low-key recreational experience. Participants have the opportunity to compete with other teams in the area in the Metro Portland Summer Swim League. Participation in the summer league is not required
