From five-year-olds to high schoolers – a season on the Swim Team means that your kid will be swimming better than Nemo in no time. In addition to being a valuable life skill and great exercise, joining our Pirates is a great opportunity to meet other kids that are also members of the pool. Not to mention it’s super fun. Kind of a no-brainer.

Yeah, but I’m not sure if I have the time…

Swim Team begins in early May (after school practice) and lasts through the end of June (morning practices during summer). That’s a little less than 2 months to mold your kid into the next Michael Phelps. There are no hard-and-fast rules about attendance, but you get what you put into it. If you have a scheduling conflict – talk to us! We can work with you.  Private lessons are also often available.

But…money?

Your child will receive over 30 hours of competitive swim and stroke instruction and be part of a great team. Not to mention the great coaches that Rama Swim Club is lucky to have. This rivals just about any swim class in Charlotte, plus you can’t put a price on friendship.

A few notes on the 2025 Rama Pirates Season:

We will offer three options for swim team:

SHRIMP TEAM – All 5 and 6 year old swimmers will be on the Shrimp team. This team will not compete in the Queen City Summer League meets.
HOUSE TEAM – Any swimmers aged 7 through 18 who do not want to compete in Queen City Summer League meets will swim on our House team.
LEAGUE TEAM – Any swimmers aged 7 through 18 who do want to compete in Queen City Summer League meets should select choose the League Team.

• League swim meets will rotate between League pools on Mon & Thur, as of Jun 3
• Afternoon practices may begin as early as May 5, 2025 (League) and May 27, 2025 (House)
• SWIM TEAM REGISTRATION must be complete by April 30, 2025
• Be sure to sign up soon, as we may need to cap registration, based on safety and availability of swim team coaches

Many hands make light work! We need many, many volunteers to run swim team. Email RamaSwimTeam@gmail.com to let us know how you can help. Could you help run Concessions, volunteer for Concessions, help with meet preparation, run heat sheets, or be the Mega-Phone Announcer? All are welcome.
