Sea Lion Swim Team
Swim Team
The Lisle Park District Sea Lion Swim Team competes in the West Suburban
Conference with teams from Downers Grove, Glen Ellyn, Hinsdale, Lemont, Wheaton,
Clarendon Hills, and Western Springs. Swimmers are evaluated individually based
on skill level and are divided into "A" and "B" Divisions.
The coaching staff will provide an atmosphere of sportsmanship and fun for both
beginning and advanced swimmers. This program is primarily for children and
young adults who have previously mastered swimming basics and are ready for a
more competitive atmosphere. Those considering joining the Sea Lion Swim Team
are strongly advised to have completed several swim lesson courses. Although
previous participation in swimming lessons is suggested, it is not required as
long as participants meet the minimum swimming requirements listed below.
