We are registering swimmers

We are currently registering for the 2026 Summer Swim Season. Pinegate community members can register their children or grandchildren to be part of our amazing swim community. Our team ranges from 5 year-old kids who know the basics of swimming to 18 year-old kids staying in shape for their high school sports or those that just want to be part of the fun that our team has all summer long.

  

If this is your first time being part of a swim team or your child has swam for years, Pinegate Swim Team is here to welcome you to our family. Some of the things to expect are "Big Gators" where we pair up our teens with our 8 & under swimmers to help them learn the basics of being part of the team, get them to their events at meets, and cheer them on all season long. We also host Friday night pre-meet potlucks, a marathon swim party, and annual Termigator competition. The summer season is packed full of fun and requires a lot of volunteers to get it done, so please plan on helping out this season, too.
