Swim & Dive Team Overview

(Ages 5-17) Gilbert's recreational Swim/Dive Teams enable swimmers to expand their skills, build self-confidence, and socialize in a friendly, competitive atmosphere. For practice and meet schedules, please refer to our calendar, available below. The season concludes with a championship meet.

Swim Teams are open to youth, ages 5-17. Practices are held at Mesquite Aquatic Center and Greenfield, Perry, and Williams Field pools (depending on the program registered for).

IMPORTANT CHAMPIONSHIP MEET NOTES:

Each swim/dive season concludes with a championship meet. Championship meet entries are due by the end of the day on June 29, 2026. Meet entries will only be valid if they are entered by scanning the entry QR code posted at the pools or in the Practice and Meet Calendar (posted on our Aquatics webpage). Upon completing championship meet entries, you will receive an email confirmation. Please save this confirmation. If you do not receive an email confirmation, your entries were not submitted correctly. Due to the time required to program the meet into our system, late entries will not be accepted, with no exceptions.

IMPORTANT SCHEDULE NOTES:

The first week of the season has special practice times due to school being in session. There is also a one-week break after the first week of practice. NO practice will be held on Memorial Day. Please refer to the practice/meet calendar for details, including holidays and no-practice/meet dates.

SWIM/DIVE SHIRTS:

Swim/Dive T-shirts will only be available for purchase online during swim/dive registration as an additional and separate purchase. Visit our Aquatics Webpage for details.
