Two Seasons for Year-Round Competition
OPY Swim Club teams give swimmers a place to improve their strokes, build endurance, and compete in exciting swim meets! All our coaches for OPY Swim Club teams complete coach safety training.
OPY Swim Club competes in two different seasons. The summer season begins with a pre-season period during the month of May, then the regular season begins the first of June and continues through the first weekend of August. The winter season begins in mid-September and goes through mid-March. During both seasons, the team competes at sanctioned meets, giving your child the opportunity to compete against other swimmers both locally and throughout the region.
Qualified swimmers ideally will have completed swim lessons and/or be able to swim 25 yards unassisted. Coaches are available for one-on-one evaluations to determine if a child is ready for swim team.
2026-2027 Winter Swim Season
Our OPY Swim Club is where individuals ages 4-18 can work on strokes, build endurance, and participate in competitive swim meets. Qualified swimmers ideally will have completed swim lessons and be able to swim 25 yards.
All our coaches are certified and complete coach safety training. Meets are sanctioned through Heartland Area Swimming and cost an additional fee. Some meets are local, and some are regional meets outside of the Nevada, MO area. Only Y members are eligible to compete.
