Swimming

SWIM (Grades 5 – 12)

 

The Beaufort Academy swim team competes during the Fall Season within SCISA Region A-AA. The team consists of male and female students in grades 5-12, and practices at the Beaufort High School Pool located on Lady’s Island, from 6pm-7:45pm, Monday-Thursday starting on Monday, August 5th.

All students who are interested are encouraged to participate! The team works hard, with training including dry-land and stretching in addition to pool time, but also has a lot of fun. The program encourages strong teamwork, self confidence, the development of strokes and technique, and a good time for all!
