Neptune Swimming

Santa Rosa

Neptune Swimming is a competitive swim team - the oldest in Northern California, dating back to 1955. This is for kids who already know how to swim and want to race and improve. Not swim lessons.

Important Distinction

This is NOT swim lessons. Your child needs to already be able to swim before joining. Neptune is for competitive swimming - practices, meets, times, training.

Commitment Level
