Lincolnwood Lightning Swim Team

Lincolnwood Lightning is a recreational swim team where swimmers will participate in intrasquad meets, as well as meets in the Northern Illinois Swim Conference. We believe in an environment that fosters a spirit of teamwork, sportsmanship, and friendly competition.

With a focus on fun and challenging training, our experienced coaches are dedicated to helping every swimmer reach their full potential. Training sessions are tailored to each level, with Novice swimmers enjoying four hours of practice per week while our Advanced swimmers dive into a rigorous twelve-hour weekly regimen.

Please note that the Lincolnwood Lightning Swim Team is not a learn-to-swim program. All new and returning Novice members must demonstrate proficiency by swimming at least 25 meters in deep water and successfully completing a one-hour group tryout practice. Join us and discover the thrill of making waves, forging lifelong friendships, and achieving your swimming dreams. Don't miss out – register now and get ready to unleash your inner Lightning!
