Watertown Area Swim Club

We are looking for a Head Swim Coach starting in Sept 2008. Click here to see the job posting.

Since 1960’s there have been 1750+ swimmers participate on the swim team.

The Watertown Area Swim club began in the early 1960’s as a summer park and recreational team. Soon after forming the club, the Dolphin became the club mascot. The club participated in meets during the summer time only until 1974 when the Watertown Recreational Center was built. The Rec-Center allowed the club to start hosting events and compete year round.

In 1994 the Watertown School Board

unanimously voted to recognize the lettered high school swimmers.
The club currently hosts 2 meets each year, the Candy Cane Invitational swim meet in December, and the Optimist Big Apple swim meet in February. The club also hosts either the C novice or State indoor short course meets during some years.
Swimming is recognized as an excellent life long sport. Swimmers can competitively swim beginning with the 8 and under age group on up to the Masters program which includes ages 19 and above.
