putting in the work

Time trials, travel meets, the breakfast, the last relay of the season. If you are deciding whether your swimmer or diver would like this, start here.

The program

Fun and sportsmanship first, good times follow

Aquatics Program Mission Statement

The Salt Lake Tennis & Health Club is dedicated to providing a happy, safe, and child-friendly environment. We promote character development and personal improvement while emphasizing fun, sportsmanship, technique, and physical conditioning in an Aquatic environment.

Where a swimmer starts

Four groups, shallow to deep. Ages are a guide — coaches place each swimmer on what they can actually do.

01 · Ages 6 and under

7 & Under Team

Our youngest racers. Thirty minutes at the end of every practice block, learning what a swim meet even is.

Ready when: your swimmer can cover 25 yards of freestyle and 25 yards of backstroke unassisted, and follow directions in a group. At 7 and 8, add a basic knowledge of all four competitive strokes.

02 · Ages 7-12

Bronze

Stroke and skill development. All beginners under 12, plus second- and third-year swimmers still mastering the four strokes, starts, flip turns, underwaters and the etiquette of a meet.

Ready when: your swimmer has a basic grasp of all four strokes. Bronze swimmers enrol in Stroke Development for at least one two-week session, 10:30–11:00 a.m. daily.

03 · Ages 9-12

Silver

Conditioning and real racing. Intermediate swimmers with two or more seasons behind them.

Ready when: all four strokes are legal, starts and turns are solid, your swimmer can read a pace clock and work through a drill set with little guidance, and knows how a meet runs. Strongly encouraged to take one session of Competitive Techniques, Mon–Fri 10:30–11:00 a.m.

04 · Ages 11-17

Gold

The deep end of the program, and the longest sessions in the water — ninety minutes every weekday morning.

Ready when: everything Bronze and Silver ask for, plus mastery of the competitive strokes and skills, a swimmer who consistently reaches outside their comfort zone in workouts, and the intrinsic desire to chase a personal best.

One rule worth knowing up front: any swimmer aged 7 or older who cannot yet execute the four competitive strokes legally must enrol in a Stroke Development class or take private lessons with a swim coach before joining the team.

What we ask of every swimmer

As Tennis Club swimmers, we strive for Individual Excellence by working hard, respecting others, and putting forth our best effort at all times. We use focus, desire, and determination to improve our personal performance and develop character. We face challenges with grit.

The 2026 coaching staff

Every morning from June through late July, this group ran four practice groups in the pool and five on the boards — and coached at every meet in between. Two conference titles started here.

Join the team

Three things every team family needs.

Register, sign up for each meet, and take a volunteer slot. The links below are the 2026 versions — the 2027 packet and forms replace them in late winter.

01 · Register

The team packet

Everything you need to join, including the sign-up forms.

02 · Every meet

Meet participation

Sign your swimmers and divers up for each meet by the posted deadline. If they are not on the list, they cannot compete that day.

03 · Every family

Volunteer slots

Meets do not run without parents. Every team family times a required number of meets, and there are plenty of other jobs to fill beyond that.
