HAMPTON COVE HURRICANES SWIM TEAM

The Hampton Cove Hurricanes is a parent volunteer led swim team. Each summer we run our program at the Hampton House. Our program is only open to active Hampton House members, and we follow all Hampton House pool rules. We are not able to make exceptions to this policy. If you do not have a Hampton House membership, there are sixteen other amazing teams in our league! Additional information and contacts can be found HERE.

Swim team is open to ages 4 through 17, while developmental swim is open to ages 4 through 7. We work on strokes and endurance, and build self-esteem, while having fun. ALL swim abilities are invited to join us. We strive to create a positive atmosphere where fun, fitness and friendly competition welcome our swimmers each summer. We enjoy seeing our swimmers grow socially, emotionally, and physically through swimming each summer.
