Swim Team
The Rocky Hill Sea Lions Swim Team is a recreational team for ages 6–18. Participating in swim team promotes individual ability as well as team camaraderie. Practice is held Monday– Friday, and attending a minimum of 3 times/ week is recommended. Meets are typically held on weekends. All swimmers must attend swim meets to remain on the team. Due to the popularity of the team, we are giving returning swimmers their first chance to register. If, for any reason, your child is no longer able to make a meet or you need to get in touch with Head Coach Melisha, please contact her at 860-655-0246. For the latest team updates and information, please visit our website, which will be updated regularly throughout the season.
