Typhoon Swim Team
The Typhoons are a member of the Northern Illinois Swim Conference. The emphasis of the Conference is placed on learning competitive skills, enjoyment of the sport, and lifelong participation in swimming. The Conference focuses on dual meets and these meets are strictly for experience purposes. Practices are held weekdays Monday - Friday starting at 4:30pm. Length of practice will depend on level of swimmer. There are five dual meets and a Conference Championship Meet all held on Wednesdays. For children who are 8 years old and younger, you must be able to swim the whole length of the pool (25 yards) without assistance. Children ages 9 and older must be able to swim 50 yards without assistance. Also, parent volunteers will be a key factor to this program. The Typhoon Swim Team needs parents to help volunteer with the concession stand, timers and scores. A $35 volunteer deposit (per family) is due at the time of sign up. Only parents who volunteer at one home swim team will be refunded their deposit. Age 6Y-18Y
