Lakeside Field Club

Swim & Dive Team

There is nothing better for Lakeside children than participating on the Swim/Dive Team! The season runs from late June through late July with swimmers and divers practicing weekday mornings. Team members train in groups by age level and ability in this fun and challenging program. All levels of swimmers and divers are welcome, ages 5 to 18. Lakeside is proud to participate in the Northern Westchester Swim Conference. It’s a busy season with many fun events including Fun Fridays, Team Campout, Team Breakfast, Ice Cream Social and Lakeside Awards Banquet.
