Program Overview

Join us for another exciting season of the Overlee Winter Swim Program! Our experienced Summer Swim Team head coach, Aimee Hooper, along with our dedicated coaching staff of current Overlee swim team senior swimmers, are thrilled to bring an hour of swimming activities to your kids each Sunday evening. This season, we are not only focusing on improving swimming techniques but also showcasing the enjoyable side of swimming through theme nights, games, and relays. The season will run from September 17th, 2023, through May 5th, 2024.

Who should sign up for Overlee Winter Swim?

Our program caters to kids aged 5-12 with varying skill levels, from first-time beginners to advanced summer swimmers. To be elligible for registration your child must be at least 5 years old by June 1st, 2024. Children younger than 5 are allowed in the program as long as they turn 5 by the start of June next year.

Beginner Swimmers (20 spots available per session)

For youngsters new to swimming, we have dedicated spots available to ensure personalized attention. Throughout the season, they will be introduced to basic water safety skills like floating, kicking, and gaining confidence in the water. By the end of the program, our beginner swimmers will have the ability to swim legal backstroke and freestyle for a full length of the pool, making them ready for the summer swim team when practices begin in May 2024.

Intermediate/Advanced Swimmers (72 spots available per session)

If you have a capable swimmer looking to enhance their skills during the winter or an advanced swimmer seeking weekly conditioning and technique-focused sessions, the Overlee Winter Swim program is the ideal place for them. These swimmers can expect to see significant improvement across all four strokes by the end of the season, with a particular focus on perfecting starts, flip turns, and finishes. These swimmers at a minumum should be able to swim freestyle one legnth of the pool and tread water for at least 60 seconds without assistance.

Registration

The Overlee Winter Swim program will be held on Sunday evenings at the Yorktown High School Pool. The program commences on Sunday, SEPTEMBER 17, 2023, and runs through Sunday, MAY 5, 2024, with scheduled breaks for holidays and pool closures. There are two sessions each Sunday with the first session beginning at 5pm, followed by the second session at 6pm.

Registration will open on August 19th at 9am for Overlee Members, and on August 26th at 9am for non-members. As the spots are limited, make sure to register your child promptly. If all spots are filled before you get a chance to register, you can still opt to sign up for the waitlist. In case spaces become available, we will be admitting more children midway through the season. For registration details, please refer below.

The registration fee for the 2023-2024 Overlee Winter Swim Program is $450 per swimmer. It’s a bit higher than last season because we’ve made some improvements. We added three more swim sessions, hired more coaches, and reduced the number of swimmers per session from 110 to 92. This way, each swimmer can get more individual attention.

When registering, ensure to select the appropriate group based on your child’s swimming ability:

  • Beginners in the shallow tank pool for swimmers who need to learn how to float and basic water mobility
  • Intermediate swimmers will be in the lap pool and can at the very least swim one legnth of freestyle and tread water for a minute

For any questions or inquiries, please feel free to contact us at winterswim@overlee.org.

We look forward to welcoming your kids to an exciting and rewarding season of the Overlee Winter Swim Program!
