We are a competitive swim team that will run from November 2023 to early April 2024 for ages 6-17 for the 2023-2024 school year. The program is open to boys and girls who live in the Saint Aidan parish or live in adjoining parishes that do not have their own CYO swim program, including residents of Albertson, Carle Place, East Williston, Mineola, Roslyn, Williston Park and parts of New Hyde Park. If your town is not listed, please contact us to verify your eligibility. We practice three times per week and swim in approximately 8-10 meets a season culminating in the CYO championships in early April.

The Registration fee for this season will be $185.
Registration is required to tryout and will be refunded if you do not make the team.
During tryouts each swimmer will swim 1 25 yard lap (Age 12 and under) or 50 yards (Age 13 and up) of each of the competitive swim strokes and will be timed and evaluated by our coaches. 8 and under swimmers may not swim butterfly. Depending on the number of registrations for each age group, we may not be able to take every swimmer on the team. We do take developmental swimmers (space permitting) on to our exhibition group whenever possible with some in the past making the team the same season.
Registration ends on October 30th. We cannot guarantee acceptance of any registrations after this date and there will be a $50 late fee added.
The success of the team depends on the participation of every swimmer and the families who support their effort all season. The basic procedures to follow are:
Arrival
Swimmers are expected to listen and not talk during instruction.
Meets
We have 8 dual meets per season starting in January and ending the end of March with the season concluding with the Championships sometime the 1st week of April. Depending on the size of the team not all swimmers will swim in every meet. The championship roster is by invitation to the fastest swimmers in each age group.
All swimmers must stay on the deck with the team for the entire meet.
No parents are permitted on the pool deck at any time.
