Swim Team

Competitive Swim Team

Sleepy Hollow Swim & Tennis Club competes in the nationally-recognized Orinda-Moraga Pools Association league.

The Sleepy Hollow Legends Swim Team is a competitive team for swimmers ages 4 to 18. The goal of the team is to provide a positive, competitive environment, foster Legend Pride and prepare the swimmers for the season-ending championship meets. Sleepy Hollow provides some of the best stroke technique training in the county. Along the way, swimmers learn several life-long lessons in commitment, hard work, goal setting, team spirit and sportsmanship.

Team Description:

The Mini Legend program is a pre-team program for kids ages 4-6. This is a bridge program between the learn-to-swim program (where kids develop the foundations of swimming and water safety) and the competitive swim team (where kids develop the competitive strokes and compete in meets). Mini Legends is a developmental program for children who already have mastered basic swimming skills and meet the minimum qualifications.

Coaches consider whether a swimmer is ready for the Mini Legend program based on:

Should be at least 4 years old.
Is able to swim unassisted with breathing.
Is water safe and comfortable in deep water.

Team Description:

Swimmers must be 5 or 6 years old and must be able to swim the length of the pool using big arms and side breathing. Swimmers need to be strong enough to swim multiple laps in a workout setting and keep up with the group. Must be able to kick 1 lap with a kickboard under 60 seconds. Swim practice is a workout and multiple laps will be swum with proper instruction from the deck (i.e., no coaches in the water).

Team Description:

Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards of catch-up with proper side breathing. Must be able to kick 25 yards on back. Must be strong enough to swim multiple laps during the course of a practice.
