Unique Swimming has a mission to develop unique swimmers of all levels, in a recognized program, that represents unique ability as part of a team supported by an outstanding coaching staff and parents.
Unique Swimming
Developing unique people and athletes, everyday.
Unique Swimming fulfills the needs of area swimmers from developmental instruction, to age group competition, as well as national and international competition. Unique swimmers are part of a swim program that maximizes individual potential and swimming experience with professional, nationally recognized coaches and highly focused training groups.
A unique characteristic of our club is that we are interested in swimmers of all ranges and abilities. Unique Swimming offers swim development programs which are solely non-competitive. Within our 10 and under and age group programs, we offer developmental/non-competitive groups as well as groups that are identified as highly competitive/highly elite. Within our senior program we offer a high school level development group, a pre-senior group which prepares athletes to train at an elite senior level, and an elite senior group. Unique Swimming also offers the only high performance program in the area.
This was the very first Short Course season for Unique Swimming. The team had 44 registered athletes this season. Only 22 swimmers swam during the Championship Season. Unique Swimming offered 10 training groups practicing at 2 time periods with 1 coach in a 6 lane 25 yard pool.
