Swim Team

Dive into community, competition, and tradition.

The Crestmoor Swim Team is at the heart of our summer programming — a vibrant, spirited experience for young swimmers of all levels. Whether your child is training for a personal best or just learning to compete, they’ll find fun, friendship, and belonging in the lanes.

Rooted in community values and guided by experienced coaches, our swim team emphasizes technique, sportsmanship, and team spirit — all in a welcoming, energetic environment.

Swim team activities and communications are managed through the Go Motion App.
