Registration for Overlee Members opens 08/15/2026 at 9:00 am and registration for Non-Members opens 08/29/2026 at 9:00 am. 

Overlee Winter Swim is a Sunday evening program for swimmers of all ability levels, from kids who are just getting comfortable in the water to experienced club swimmers looking for an extra day of conditioning and technique work. Our coaches are made up of Overlee summer staff and Swim Team members who know the program, the community, and what makes swimming at Overlee fun. Along with skill development and conditioning, we bring plenty of Overlee spirit to the winter season with games, relays, theme nights, and other activities throughout the year. Our season will run from September 20, 2026, through May 2, 2027.

Who should sign up for Overlee Winter Swim?

Our program caters to kids ages 4-12 with varying skill levels, from children who are brand new to the water to advanced summer swimmers.

For our traditional Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced groups, your child must be at least 5 years old by June 1, 2027. Children younger than 5 are allowed in these groups as long as they turn 5 by the start of June next year. If you have a swimmer who is advanced for their age but will not be 5 years old by next June, please contact the Winter Swim Coordinator, Brian Yost, at[email protected]to request an exception.

This season, there will be three skill-level groups.

Early Beginners – 6 spots available

New for the 2026–27 season, our Early Beginners group is designed for children ages 4 and up who are new to the water and need to learn the most basic swimming and water-safety skills. This includes putting their face in the water, floating on their back, kicking, and developing overall comfort and confidence in and around the water.

Swimmers in this group do not need to already be completely comfortable in the water, but they must be comfortable sitting on the side of the pool without a parent present. Swimmers will be taken into the water one at a time to work directly with an instructor throughout each session. When not working with an instructor, swimmers will remain safely seated on the wall.

This group will use the shallow tank pool and will be limited to only 6 swimmers to allow for significant individual attention. Each session for this group will run for 45 minutes.

The cost is $475 per swimmer for Overlee members and $525 for non-members for the 27-session season.

Beginner Swimmers – 12 spots available

For youngsters who are new to swimming but have developed some basic comfort in the water, we have dedicated spots available to ensure personalized attention. Throughout the season, they will be introduced to basic water-safety and swimming skills such as floating, kicking, and gaining confidence in the water.

By the end of the program, our goal is for beginner swimmers to have the ability to swim legal backstroke and freestyle for a full length of the pool, making them ready for the summer swim team when practices begin in May 2027.

This group will use the shallow tank pool and will be limited to 12 swimmers. Each session for this group will run for 45 minutes.

The cost is $475 per swimmer for Overlee members and $525 for non-members.

Intermediate/Advanced Swimmers – 64 spots available per session

If you have a new but capable swimmer looking to enhance their skills during the winter or an experienced swimmer seeking weekly conditioning and technique-focused sessions, the Overlee Winter Swim Program is the ideal place for them. These swimmers can expect to see significant improvement across all four strokes by the end of the season.

At a minimum, swimmers in this group should be able to swim one length of freestyle and tread water for at least 60 seconds without assistance.

Each session for this group will run for 45 minutes. The cost is $475 per swimmer for Overlee members and $525 for non-members.

Registration

The Overlee Winter Swim Program will be held on Sunday evenings at the Yorktown High School Pool. The program begins on Sunday, September 20, 2026, and runs through Sunday, May 2, 2027, with scheduled breaks for certain holidays, APS Spring Break, and the Super Bowl.

There are two sessions each Sunday, with the first session beginning at 5:00 pm, followed by the second session at 6:00 pm.

Registration for Overlee Members opens 08/15/2026 at 9:00 am, and registration for Non-Members opens 08/29/2026 at 9:00 am.

As spots are limited, make sure to register your child promptly. If all spots are filled before you get a chance to register, you can still sign up for the waitlist. If spaces become available, we may admit additional children throughout the season.

When registering, ensure that you select the appropriate group based on your child’s swimming ability:

Early Beginners will use the shallow tank pool. This group is for children ages 4 and up who are new to the water and need to develop basic water comfort and safety skills, including putting their face in the water and floating. Swimmers do not need to be completely comfortable in the water but must be comfortable sitting by the side of the pool without a parent.

Beginners will use the shallow tank pool. This group is for swimmers who have some basic comfort in the water but still need to learn skills such as floating and basic water mobility, with the goal of progressing toward swimming full lengths of freestyle and backstroke. Must be comfortable entering the water at the stairs entrance to the pool and standing in 3ft deep water unassisted.

Intermediate/Advanced swimmers will swim in the lap pool. Swimmers should be able to swim at least one length of freestyle and tread water for one minute. This group is designed for swimmers with a wide range of abilities, from those just learning all four strokes to those who swim on club teams throughout the winter and are looking for some extra conditioning.

We look forward to welcoming your kids to an exciting and rewarding season of the Overlee Winter Swim Program!
