The East Longmeadow Marlins Swim Team is a year-round, developmental swim program for children ages 6-18. We accept swimmers of varying ability levels from beginner to advanced, providing a safe, healthy, and committed space which encourages swimmers to grow and develop as young athletes, while also having fun and learning to enjoy the sport from all aspects. Our mission is to pass on a love of the sport in an established swim family that prioritizes high standards of commitment and stroke development and builds a level of trust within the pool and on deck between swimmers, coaches, and families. Previous swim experience is required. Swimmers who are new to the program will need to attend a new swimmer evaluation.
All swimmers must participate in a minimum of four dual meets. Attending the Championship Meet is also required for all swimmers.
By registering your child for this program, you will be joining a swim community that runs on volunteer support therefore we will ask each family to volunteer as they are able throughout the season.
New swimmers must attend one of the new swimmer evaluation nights. Information for those days and times will be communicated to new families via the coaching staff.
New Swimmers must attend and try the following:
- 50 yards freestyle (2 lengths)
- 50 yards backstroke
- 50 yards streamline kick on their front
- 50 yards streamline kick on their back
- 100 yards Individual Medley
- 1 minute of treading water
- Demonstrate their diving ability
