Year Round Swim Team

The Los Gatos Swim Club is a competitive swim program that provides boys and girls of all ages and abilities the opportunity to enhance their swimming abilities through proper stroke instruction and training.  The Los Gatos Swim Club was established in 2001 to meet the high demand for a competitive swim program at the Los Gatos Swim and Racquet Club.  In the short two years that the program has been running we have established a highly competitive program that balances the social needs of our athletes with the proper training and stroke instruction needed to help each swimmer achieve their goals. 

The Los Gatos Swim Club participates in a variety of meets and competitions throughout the year. Our facilities include a heated 5 lane 25 yard pool. 

Practices: 3:30pm - 5:00pm, Monday-Friday
