Welcome to Opelika Swim Team!

2024 CAMP OST is the perfect program for new swimmers or those thinking about joining swim team. Don’t hesitate to contact Tyler McGill (tmcgill@opelika-al.gov) with questions.

Joining a swim team can be intimidating but it shouldn’t be! Which is why this year we are again hosting CAMP OST for swimmers aged 12 and Under (pre-k through 6th grade) who are interested in learning what swim team is all about.

Our only requirement is that participating swimmers be able to swim the length of the pool unassisted.  This is strictly for safety reasons.

The weekend prior to camp we will offer times to come and do a quick swim test with ALL swimmers to make sure they are ready.  This will also give us the opportunity to point families toward swim lessons if needed.

Often times the difference maker for someone to join the swim team is simply being in the pool more often. Working on the necessary skills to join!
