Join the Ann Arbor Octopods Swim Team!

The Ann Arbor Octopods Swim Team is a fun and competitive program for swimmers ages 5-17. With four seasons offered year-round, swimmers continue developing skills, building confidence, and enjoying the sport in a supportive team environment. 

Registration is required for each session, and swimmers must commit to a fixed practice schedule. 

  • Summer Season: Practices are held at Buhr Park Pool and Veterans Memorial Park Pool, where the team competes in the WISC league. Swimmers can select their preferred practice location and time during registrations
  • Fall, Winter, & Spring Seasons: Practices take place at Mack Indoor Pool, with competition in the SMSL league

To join, swimmers must be able to swim one length of the pool using front crawl. Whether you're looking to refine your strokes, compete in races, or simply be part of a great team, the Octopods Swim Team is the perfect place to grow as a swimmer!
