Swim Team
Swim Team Practice Starts May 13!
8 & under from 5:30-6:30pm and 9 & up from 6:30-7:30pm at the Country Club
It's not too late to sign up! New swimmers must take a swim test, any day between 5:15 and 6:30 the week of May 13 or May 20. The test is to swim one length of the pool unassisted without stopping. Any stroke counts - even dog paddle; and you can try as many times as you would like! If you have any questions about swim team email John & Lisa.
Sharks are Back to Back CHAMPS!
Our Sharks swim team won the Chapel Hill Summer Swim League Championship in 2022 and 2023! Congratulations to all of our Shark swimmers!
Children ages 4 to 18 of Ridgewood members are eligible to join the Chapel Hill Country Club/Ridgewood swim team, which is part of the Chapel Hill Summer Swim League. It’s a great way for your children to build confidence in the water, make friends, and stay active during those hot summer days!
Why join the CHCCR Sharks swim team?
Everyone gets to swim, regardless of ability. And everyone’s a winner. Swimmers get recognized for improved times and are matched against other swimmers of similar abilities at meets.
The schedule is flexible. Practices are offered twice a day during the summer, and you can come to as few or as many that fit your needs. Swim meets are a great way for swimmers to socialize with their teammates and other kids their age and to build confidence and gauge their improvement, but no one has to compete in the meets, and swimmers don’t have to do events that they don’t want to.
It’s a great value! For about the cost of a week of summer camp or two sessions of swim lessons, children get a summer’s worth of swimming skills building, plus lots of social activities and fun.
Particularly for older kids who may be concentrating on other sports, swimming is the perfect cross-trainer. It’s an excellent, low-impact way to improve endurance, condition heart and lungs, and strengthen muscles. (Ask their coaches!)
