Chicago Latin Swim Club is a competitive swimming experience that provides life-long aquatic

skills and a structured learning environment to develop each child individually and as a

contributing member of the team.

Chicago Latin Swim Club’s Team Philosophy is to promote physical fitness, develop leadership

qualities and sportsmanship, encourage team involvement, foster self discipline, build self

confidence, and provide a competitive swimming experience in an environment where a

swimmer's full potential may be reached.

Participants do not need to be students at the Latin School of Chicago to join our community!



Developmental ~ 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm

For swimmers with an understanding of the basic skills in the sport that are ready to transition to a competition-focused environment. Our developmental team meets two to three nights a week and prepares swimmers for longer practices by focusing on the further acquisition of technique and endurance. Our developmental program is open for swimmers ages 6 and up.

Blue ~ 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm

A welcome environment for our younger athletes to develop their understanding and execution of the fundamental techniques required to compete in the sport of swimming, and to develop their love for the sport. Swimmers will focus on the basics of the sport- drill execution, lane and practice etiquette, technique for each of the four strokes, and racing skills- in groups dedicated to either the long-axis strokes or the short-axis strokes.

Orange ~ 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Athletes with a strong command over the basic elements of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle that are ready for a more challenging environment. Swimmers in the Orange practice group will continue to refine the skills they acquired in Blue as they engage in higher intensity practices focused on developing speed and learning the advanced skills of the sport.

Roman ~ 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Our most advanced athletes, and those athletes preparing for a successful high school or college swim season. Swimmers in our Roman practice group have an excellent grasp on all four strokes, and a strong willingness to compete and attain time standards for championship meets at the local and national level.
