The Dippers Swim Team - Long Beach


Come cheer us on at our next Swim Meet Saturday July 27th! Call for details.


About The Dippers Swim Team
The Dippers Swim Team is a pre-competitive Swim Team that focuses on transitioning your child from private lessons to a swim team atmosphere. We keep the groups small (10:2 student to instructor ratio) so your child will still get the attention they need to continue stroke development. The Dippers Swim Team is great for the kids who love to swim, but may be growing out of private lessons!! Students join on an ongoing basis.

The study also found that adolescent boys are four to six times more likely to drown than girls, mostly because they think their swimming skills are better than they really are, and they are more likely to take risks.  READ FULL ARTICLE
