Update from the Swim Parents (5/1/24)

Murrysville Swim Club is part of the ESA (Eastern Swim Association) for competitive summer swim.  We are finalizing details on the summer meet schedule and are awaiting some basic guidelines for the meets. More information to come!

For those who may be new to summer swim team, the MSC Swim Team consists of 9 weeks of swim instruction focused on friendly competition, team spirit and lots of fun! The swim team signup fee enables your swimmer(s) to participate in practices, team meets, individual meets, as well as many other fun activities this summer. We are looking forward to the annual Pancake Breakfast, pizza nights, and an end of the season party to name a few! Summer swimming is a special opportunity for kids to create friendships and memories that can last a lifetime. We encourage all new eligible swimmers to join the team, and look forward to seeing our returning swimmers back in the water!
