Registration to join the 2023 Summer Chapel Hill Tennis Club Aquatics Swim Team for youth

TCAT participates in the Chapel Hill Summer Swim League and offers quality coaching and technique instruction. The goal of our team is to facilitate improvement of swimming skills in an enjoyable atmosphere while emphasizing healthy competition and good sportsmanship. We strive to provide fun, friendship, and love of swimming for children of all skill levels, novice to expert. TCAT is open to children ages 4-18 who can swim 25m (one pool length) by the mock meet. If your child can swim a few yards but cannot complete a full lap, they may participate in our Junior Penguins program, a bridge to our TCAT swimming.  As a non-profit entity, TCAT relies on parent volunteers in order to provide a fun summer league for our children.  For any questions related to TCAT please email Patty Andrade Schrader at pattychillswim@gmail.com.

Registration will open … March 1, 2023
You may register for either TCAT or Junior Penguins through Court Reserve and your account will be charged for swim team fees.
