The SCSC pre-swim team program is not a substitution for swim lessons or learn-to-swim programs. Swimmers should be able to complete a 25-yard (one length) freestyle (front crawl) and 25-yard (one length) backstroke without aid or stopping. Minimum age is 5 years old.

Swimmers must be able to follow instruction from the SCSC coaches and staff. If your swimmer does not know how to swim breaststroke and butterfly, our coaches will work with them to achieve that.

I, the undersigned participant and parent, request voluntary participation for minor to participate in all events, which are herein after referred to as the “activities” sponsored by Sarpy County Swim Club, USA Swimming and its local swimming committees. This agreement is valid while the participant is a member of USA Swimming.



I consent to my/minor’s participation in the activities and acknowledge that the minor and I fully understand my/minor’s participation may involve risk of serious injury or death, including losses which may result not only from my/minor’s own actions, inactions or negligence, but also from the actions, inactions, or negligence of others, the condition of the facilities, equipment, or areas where the event or activity is being conducted, and/or the rules of play of this type of event or activity.
