Sea Lions Swim Team at the Clarendon Hills Park District

The Clarendon Hills Park District is currently accepting registration for its 2016 Sea Lions Swim Team which practices and competes out of the Lions Park Pool.

A summer tradition at the aquatics complex, the Sea Lions Swim Team offers the best combination of summer fun with stroke technique education around. The team is open to all swimmers ages 5-18 who can swim one length (25 yards of the pool) unassisted using two different strokes - the freestyle and the backstroke! Throughout the summer, the experienced coaching staff will work with swimmers to develop their competitive swimming skills, self-confidence and team player mentality.

Regular meets will be scheduled throughout the season. Regular season practices will be scheduled for one hour each day, Monday through Friday mornings, with all participants being grouped by age bracket. Pre-season practices will also be held for 45 minutes, Tuesday through Friday afternoons, between May 31 and June 8. There is a $195.00 per child resident fee ($243.00 non-residents) to participate in this program, which includes a swim team t-shirt and cap. Families registering more than one child for this activity will receive a $20.00 discount per child.

All registration takes place at the Clarendon Hills Park District Community Center, 315 E. Chicago Avenue. Regular business hours at the Community Center are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Valerie Louthan, the Clarendon Hills Park District's Aquatics Supervisor, welcomes calls from prospective swim team families. She can be reached at 630-323-2626.
