Competitive Swimming-CAST Youth Swim Team
Join the excitement by becoming a member of the Coeur d'Alene Area Swim Team! Evaluations to see if you are ready for the swimming program are available by appointment. Previous competitive swimming experience is not required; the evaluation is designed to make sure new participants are placed into the proper practice groups.

You don't have to be a great swimmer to get started. The entry level program is specifically designed for swimmers who enjoy the water and can complete a length of a 25 yard pool unassisted. CAST's emphasis is on establishing proper stroke technique in all four competitive strokes in a fun and challenging environment and preparing our swimmers for age group competition. If you love to swim and are ready to take the next step up from a lesson program, CAST is the way to go!
