The Slippery Rock Eels Swim Team

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Slippery Rock Eels is to develop excellent physical health while promoting good sportsmanship in our community young people through a developmental and competitive swim program. This goal will empower our young people to be champions and valued citizens for a lifetime in and out of the water.

Who are we?

The Slippery Rock Eels Swim Team is an age group developmental team open to any child ages 5-18.  The team has been in place in the community since 1978.

Who can join?

Any child in the community age 5-18.  Each child should be able to swim across the pool. There is a registration fee to help cover coaching fees, pool time, and league dues.   We encourage children participating in fall sports to join our team once their season ends. All swimmers are to carry their own insurance.

Competition:

The S.R. Eels Swim Team participates in Allegheny Mountain Local Swim Club under the US Swimming Rules and Regulations. We schedule several meets a year in order to allow all level of swimmers to participate in US sanctioned meets. We also participate in the Western Central Pennsylvania Swim League (WCPSL).  In this league we also follow all USS swim rules.  In the WCPSL our team schedules 8 to 10 swim meets per year, both home and away.  There is a year-end Championship meet held at a different location every year.  All meets are scheduled on Saturdays.  Our season begins in October and ends in March with the team banquet. Each meet consists of 52 individual events and 8 relays.

Home Pool:

The S.R. Eels practice at the Slippery Rock University Morrow Field House, the Abersold Recreation Center and East West Gym.  All home meets are held at the Morrow Field House.
