Practices
Practice is usually held 5 days per week, except during holidays and when the PTHS pool is in use for swim meets. There are also morning practices help periodically throughout the year.  The Swim season runs September 1st thru August 31st, with a six week break in the spring. The Senior group is strongly encouraged to attend 90% of the practices held, the Junior group 75-80% and the 8 & under group 60% of all practices.  For the specific practice schedule, please go the Practice Schedule page, which is updated monthly. 
 
 

 
Swim Level
Swimmers are divided into four groups:
High School swimmers
Middle School Swimmers
6th Grade and Under:
>Session One
>Session Two
 
Competition
The program is geared toward increasing swimming skills and conditioning, and speed is a natural part of the program. Most of the other club members will be talking about the excitement of preparing for meets and it is likely most kids will eventually give it a try. The coaches will ease the swimmer into the meets and remember, swim meets are not necessarily about being the fastest one there, but rather to beat your own previously best times. You are always swimming  against yourself!

PTSC
The PTSC is a Peters Township Recreation Department sponsored organization, sanctioned by US Swimming and Allegheny Mountain Swimming. At PTSC, we offer a year-round developmental program for young people aged 6 through 18, from the beginning swimmer to the most competitive skilled athletes. A progressive age group program is designed to develop each swimmer in a systematic fashion with a long-term approach of gradually increasing degrees of commitment. Competition is encouraged in a team setting with swimmers of the same general age and ability.
