About the Flyers
The Falcon Pointe Flyers Swim Team is a summer-only (April – July) competitive swim team. Any Falcon Pointe resident between the ages of 5 - 18 on May 1st is eligible to try out for the team. Renters are considered the resident of any Falcon Pointe address.
Swimmers are expected to be able to swim the full 25 meters of the pool unassisted without touching the lane lines and/or the walls by the end of the first week of practice. If swimmers are unable to swim the length of the pool unassisted, the coaches will recommend that they drop from the team and spend the year in lessons to prepare for next year. Swimmers who are asked to drop from the team will be reimbursed all but $30 of their registration fee, which goes towards league required fees and any apparel or equipment ordered for the swimmer.
The Flyers Swim Team is run by parent volunteers. To join the team, all parents are asked to select their volunteer position(s) and commit to them. If you do not volunteer you cannot be a part of the Flyers. The Flyers could not happen without all the parents helping as it takes many volunteers to run multiple Swim Meets (Home and Away), prepare social activities, ordering gear and throwing a banquet. All the money raised by the Flyers ultimately goes back to our swimmers and parents by paying for coaching, pools, equipment, social activities, t-shirts, medals, trophies and everything else. This is what makes the Flyers experience amazing!
The summer league season is a fast paced eight week period, but everyone who participates has a great time, makes new friends, and looks forward to the next year!
The Falcon Pointe Flyers swim team is a 501c3 (not-for-profit) organization. The team operates under an established "usage agreement" with the Falcon Pointe HOA, and an HOA Board member acts as a liaison with the swim team. Elections are held at the end of each season to nominate the next season's team leadership board members.
We all look forward to the life-long bonds shared with and between teammates, coaches, and families of Falcon Pointe Flyers.
See you on deck, swim fast!
