BEAR
Swimming
BEAR Swimming is a year-round program sanctioned
by USA Swimming.
The program’s purpose is to promote
swimming as a life sport, while offering opportunities which
encourage the recreational beginning swimmer and challenge the
serious competitive athlete. The team provides sound swimming
technique, self-motivation and personal development with a focus on
long term enjoyment of swimming and fitness. Competition is a way
to develop individual skill, confidence and to build team
spirit.
BEAR Swimming’s experienced coaching
staff will bring the most out of your children.

Bear Swimming Torch Team
Torch Team is recognition for swimmers who register
’legal’ (non-DQ) times for every event in their age
groups. At our May awards dinner, Torch Team members will
receive a special towel to recognize their achievement. Keep track
of your events to qualify for Torch Team. On the website
we will have a regular listing of BEAR Torch Team
members!
Talk to your group coach if you have questions about your
status for Torch Team eligibility. For swimmers who ’age
up’ in the middle of the season (thus
creating additional required criteria for events) appropriate
adjustments will be made. We want everyone in the water
frequently, to gain valuable experience in all four strokes
and in IM’s.
