The Lake Isle Swim and Dive Team offers a competitive summer swim and dive team in a wonderful setting. We offer training and practice groups for swimmers and divers from ages 5 to 17. A swimmer can not be older than 17 as of July 1. It is the goal of the Lake Isle Swim and Dive Team to offer age-specific training for all of our athletes geared towards challenging each individual and developing each individual to the best of THEIR abilities. We compete in the month of July. We try to get all who are able to swim in the meets. Please note this is not swim lessons. The child must be able to swim numerous laps in the pool. They should be able to do freestyle and backstroke.
The information below covers the tryouts, practices and rules for the Swim Team, Dive Team and the Preteam. Please scroll through. Most of your questions are answered here.

| Preteam (See calendar for tryout dates and times.) The Preteam program allows young swimmers to be instructed in competitive swimming techniques, preparing them for the Team. Tryouts are held the second week in June (please see calendar). To join our Preteam, a child must be between the ages of 5 and 8, able to swim the width of the pool twice with minimal assistance, have the ability to be on their backs in the water and put their face underwater while stroking. There is a limit of approximately 50 swimmers, representing an 8:1 ratio of swimmers to coach. Selection of Preteam swimmers is at the discretion of the coaches.
All Preteam applicants must submit an application and payment in advance of the scheduled tryout dates. If your child does not make the team, your money will be refunded, less the registration fee of $20. Refunds for children who decide not to participate after practice begins will be made if notice is given by June 30.
Preteam practice runs from 12:30 to 1:30 each weekday after school is out for the summer until the end of July. At the end of the season we hold a Preteam Ribbon Meet, where our Preteam members proudly display their accomplishments of the season and are awarded medals. The children celebrate with an Italian Ice Party afterwards. Preteam members may swim in meets. The coaches will let you know if your child is going to swim at a meet.
All Team Members are eligible to both swim and dive, or they may participate only on the dive team or only on the swim team. Generally, swim and dive practices are scheduled so as not to conflict to facilitate children participating in both. Unfortunately, if you sign up online you have pick swim or dive. Please select swim and tell us when you pay and we will make the adjustment online.
Swim Team Lake Isle is one of the most competitive swim teams in the summer swimming season in Westchester County .

Swimmers are divided into practice groups by their ages and abilities by the coaches. There will be an A and a B team. A members will participate in all Home and Away meets and may be selected to participate in the Championship meets at the end of July and beginning of August. B members will participate in Home meets and Invitationals. The coach may recommend a child be on the Preteam after the evaluation period.
