Welcome to the San Leandro Swim Team Web Site

Home of the Drowning Darryl's

The purpose of the San Leandro Swim Team is to promote swimming for the health, education and enjoyment of our community's youth. Personal bests and team spirit are emphasized.
We sprinkle lots of fun throughout the swim season. Besides the warm and wonderful friendships that develop, the kids can look forward to many spirited events. Pot luck dinners at the pool, Movie Night, River Rafting, pizza parties and our annual end of the year party!

HELP SAVE THE POOL

Did you know the San Leandro Swim Team and The San Leandro Unified School District spent $65K to repair and keep open the SLHS pool just this year.  Thanks to your support we have been part of the EBSL since 1978.  More than 3,000 children have benefited from the swim program.  We depend on the yearly fundraising to keep our pool open.  This year we are in desperate need of repairs.  Please help us with your support of money, gift certificates, admission tickets, or merchandise for our Fiesta auction.  You have been so kind to us in past years and we have been so fortunate to receive your donations.  We thank you for your unwavering support.  The San Leandro Swim Team is a non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible.  The TAX ID# is 94-3095251.  Please contact either Susanna Oto or Michelle Hammon

Coaches Practice Requirements and Eligibility:  All Swimmers will be required to make an AVERAGE of 3 practices per week beginning April 7th thru May 31st (our first dual meet), with the exception of High School students participating in a spring sport at their school and college students living out of the area.  Those athletes will be exempt ONE WEEK after their season ends, and will be required to make 3 practices a week.  Any swimmer not making the required number of practices will not be allowed to swim in meets until they have made enough practices to bring their average up to the level required.  Once school has ended for the summer break, the 11-18 year olds will be required to make a minimum of 4 practices per week in order to be eligible for swim meets.  If a swimmer has not made an average of 2 practices a week for the months of April and May, they will no longer be considered for swim meets during that season. 

Championship Meet:  In order to be eligible for the championship meet, swimmers must make the required number of practices and swim in 5 of the 7 dual meet per season.  If a swimmer does not make the required number of practices and/or does not participate in 5 dual meets, they will no longer be considered part of the SLST roster and will be required to tryout for the team the following year.  This rule went into affect for the 2007 season ad will continue for the 2008 season.
