Swim Team

Beachcomber Swim Team News  

The Beachcomber Frogs swim team celebrated its 20th anniversary last season!  The team was composed of 91 talented swimmers – and was enthusiastically coached by Amy Young and Kate Devlin.  They had a fantastically fun season, which included a “mock meet”, 5 regular season meets, and relay and individual championships.  Additionally, BSC was selected as the site to host the annual Schuylkill Valley Aquatic League Junior Champs.  We hosted over 100 swimmers for this event (where the league encourages its up and coming swimmers to compete against each other and receive a ribbon for every event they swim).  For our season-end celebration, the team had a lovely banquet with food, music, awards, and fun games.  (The kids loved the watermelon and t-shirt relays as well as racing their parents in the pool!)  We wanted to also pass along a giant THANK YOU to the many parents who volunteered to make last season a success.

If you have kids who have an interest, please join us this year! Click on the link at the bottom of this page to see information on registration, team practices, and parent volunteering opportunities for the summer 2010 season.   Please also see the 2010 meet schedule below.
