About PTST

WELCOME TO Port Townsend Swim Team!

WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE AS PART OF OUR TEAM!

Swimming is an excellent year-round sport for a child that provides a total fitness program for the individual and an outstanding opportunity to participate in a fun, competitive team environment. Competitive swimming at PTST challenges you to improve by offering individual instruction in a structured team setting, as well as instruction in goal setting, sportsmanship, long and short-term task identification and achievement, and team spirit.

 

Port Townsend Swim Team is a fantastic and growing team of swimmers ranging from those who are brand new to the sport on up to experienced kids who regularly compete in championship meets. Regardless of experience and skill, PTST’s mission statement applies to each of our swimmers:

PTST is dedicated to developing and promoting competitive swimming for swimmers of all ages and abilities. We recognize the unique contributions that each swimmer brings to our team effort and encourage fitness, health, and fun. We strive to produce athletes who are a credit to their sport and to our community.

PTST is a member of United States Swimming. PTST is a year-round competitive swim team that provides a diversified program with various levels of challenge and training for all skills, interests and needs.

Beginning swimmers who have completed Level 4 lessons or can swim a length of freestyle and backstroke are encouraged to tryout. Once on the team, swimmers compete in area swim meets when they and their coach feel they’re ready. (Warning: swim meets are WAY fun!)
