Welcome to the 2010 BHCP Swim Team!
The BHCP Swim Team is open to all BHCP members age 7-18. No prior experience is necessary.
Our competitors range from first-timers to year-round, National-level swimmers. We compete in the North Jersey Summer Swim League Division 2.
The season consists of 8 dual meets plus a Championship Meet.
Our goal is help each swimmer maximize their ability in a team-oriented, fun environment. Many of the swimmers who start out on the BHCP team
go on to compete at high school and college levels.
If you are interested in joining the swim team, please see the Registration section below.
We welcome new swimmers!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at swimteam@bhcpool.com or stop by the pool
to see me. We have a great season planned, and I look forward to your swimmer being part of the fun!

SWIM CLINICS
|
| July 10 from 9:00 - 10:00 AM |
This will be a starts and turns clinic. The cost of this clinic will be $10. Please send
Eileen an email if you are interested. |
| June 7-9 from 4:00 - 5:00 PM |
This will be a "tune-up" clinic. Many swimmers have been
practicing in the winter and need a little refresher before the season starts. This clinic
is also recommended for any NEW swimmers who will be joining us for the first time. It is
an easy way to get acclimated to the team without the pressure of the first official practice.
Eileen and Brittany will be spending a lot of time going over starts/turns, stroke technique
and the different rules of our league. The cost of this first clinic will be $30. Please send
Eileen an email if you are interested. |
