Program Overview

My name is Brian Yost, and I will be overseeing the Overlee Winter Swim program for the 2022-2023 season. I was involved as a swimmer and then coach of the Overlee Swim Team from 1990-2013. I am excited to bring my experience and love of Overlee to this program. Our head coach Aimee Hooper, our program manager Ellie Ellison, and our coaching staff, made up of current Overlee swim team senior swimmers, are excited to bring an hour of summer fun to your kids each Sunday evening. Along with focusing on improved technique, this season we’ll be showing the fun side of swimming through theme nights, prizes, and competitive games and relays.

Who should sign up for Overlee Winter Swim?

Kids aged 5-12 with skill levels ranging from first time beginner swimmers to advanced summer swimmers who compete in Saturday swim meets.

Beginner Swimmers (30 spots available per session)

These youngsters new to swimming can expect to begin the year by learning basic water safety skills like floating, kicking, and gaining confidence and comfort in the water. By the end of the season our beginner swimmers will be able to swim legal backstroke and freestyle for a full length of the pool. These children will be summer swim team ready by the first practice in May 2023.

Intermediate/Advanced Swimmers (80 spots available per session)

Whether you have an intermediate swimmer who would like to improve their skills during the winter or an advanced swimmer looking for weekly conditioning and technique focused sessions, the Overlee Sunday Night Swim program is the perfect place for them. These swimmers should expect to see improvement across all four strokes by the end of the season and have perfected their starts, flip turns, and finishes.

Schedule and Registration

The Overlee Winter Swim program is held on Sunday evenings at Yorktown High School Pool. The program begins Sunday, SEPTEMBER 18, 2022, and runs through Sunday, MAY 7, 2023, with scheduled breaks for holidays and pool closures. This season our sessions will start an hour earlier than previous years with the first session starting at 5pm and the second session starting at 6pm.

Registration will open on August 13th at noon for Overlee Members and August 27th at noon for nonmembers. If all spots fill up before you have a chance to register your child, please opt to sign up for the waitlist. We will be letting more children in midway through the season if space is available. See below to register.

The registration fee for the 2022-2023 Overlee Winter Swim Program will be $380 per swimmer. Please make sure to register your child for the appropriate group you expect them to be in, either the shallow tank pool for beginner swimmers, or the lap pool for those with more experience.

Please contact winter@overlee.org if you have questions.
