CSC Swim Team

CSC offers a great summer swimming experience as part of the DELCO Swim League through the CSC Swim Team. Within the one swim program, different opportunities exist for swimmers of various ages and abilities to practice and compete.

The Little Otters program is designed for emerging swimmers who are ready to build a strong foundation in competitive swimming. This developmental group focuses on teaching proper stroke technique in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly while also introducing key skills such as breathing, body position, and endurance. Swimmers will participate in fun, structured practices that help develop strength, endurance, and confidence in the water. The goal of the Little Otters program is to prepare swimmers to successfully transition to the 8 & Under team, ensuring they have the technique, stamina, and love of swimming needed to thrive in a team environment. Through positive coaching and age-appropriate drills, swimmers grow their skills while continuing to enjoy being part of the CSC swim community. Little Otters are eligible to compete in Wednesday evening JV meets and encouraged to join in the fun of these fun, low pressure, Wednesday evening meets!

CSC offers a fun, team-centered competitive experience for swimmers of all abilities. Swimmers are placed into training and competition groups based on age: 8 & Under, 10 & Under, 12 & Under, 14 & Under, and 18 & Under. Throughout the season, swimmers focus on improving stroke technique, building endurance, and developing race skills while enjoying the camaraderie of being part of a team.

All swimmers are eligible to compete in Saturday morning Varsity meets. Lineups for these meets are determined solely at the coaches’ discretion and are based on swimmers’ current times, with the goal of creating the most competitive team possible in each event. That means that not every swim team member will swim in every Varsity meet. However, all swimmers will have the chance to compete in meets because our Wednesday evening JV meets provide additional racing opportunities and are open to all swimmers in the 12U, 10U, and 8U age groups, as well as Little Otters. This format allows swimmers of all levels to gain valuable race experience while keeping competition balanced and fun. Any eligible swimmer may participate, with one exception: swimmers may not compete in an event at a JV meet if they placed 1st or 2nd in that same event at the Varsity meet the previous weekend.

Swimmers’ ages are determined by whatever age they are on June 1 of the swimming season. For example, a swimmer turning 13 on June 2 this year will swim as a 12 & Under for this summer season.
