St. Anthony's Swim Team is a charter member of the Brandywine Swim League. We participate in dual swim meets with five other teams including Applecross Country Club, Brandywine Coatesville YMCA, Kennett & Jennersville Area YMCA, and West Chester Area YMCA. Our season ends with a two day championship meet at the end of July.
St. Anthony's (more commonly known as STA) is a place where summer fun and hard work come together. Our main goal is to give kids a fun activity to do during their time off from school. We like to have a good time, but also teach them swimming technique, sportsmanship, respect, and discipline.
Our team is made up of swimmers aged 5-18. We encourage everyone to try out for the team, but your swimmer must be able to swim the length of the pool without assistance. Keep in mind this is a TEAM, not swim lessons.
If you are new and have younger swimmers, you can bring your children to practice and see how they like it, with no obligation.
Registration will be located at St. Anthony’s Swim Club on Saturday, May 4th from 12:00 PM to 2:00PM, rain or shine.
Coaches will be available to answer any questions that you may have about the team or the registration process.
All new swimmers are encouraged to register in person.
Payments and forms can be submitted in person at registration on May 4th.
Registration and payments are due by the first day of practice.
$140 for the first two swimmers, $125 for each additional swimmer with checks payable to St. Anthony's Swim Team.
Please refer to the St. Anthony's Lodge website for swim club membership fees.
If you do not wish to be a club member, there is an additional "swim team only" club fee that is available to swimmers only.
This "swim team only" club fee limits the use of the pool to swim practices, swim meets, and swim team sponsored events ONLY.
