Liberty Lightning Swim Team
The Liberty Lightning Swim Team was established in 1991 and has been going strong
ever since! Our program offers the opportunity for all swimmers to thrive and
succeed in an upbeat and fun atmosphere. One of our primary goals is to motivate
swimmers to achieve the most from their efforts-not by being the best, but by
trying their best. With a focus on individual improvement, teamwork and good
sportsmanship, your kids are sure to have a great time.
The Liberty Lightning Swim Team is part of the Washtenaw Interclub Swim Conference
(WISC). The conference is made up of other area clubs including but not limited to,
Barton Hills, Georgetown, Veterans Pool, Buhr Park and Travis Point. The team is open
to all Liberty Athletic Club members, ages 5 to 17. There are five swim meets held on
Saturday mornings throughout June and July. The season culminates with the league
championships in late July. Within the swim program there are many fun happenings
such as a swim and pizza party for ages 8 and under, swimming and a movie for ages
9 and up, our very own Special Pep Rally and the end of the season Ice Cream Social
for all age groups. Parents play a vital role in making the swim program a success
by helping to run meets and the planning of the social events.
Our program is unique in that the Liberty Lightning Swim Team practices within a
state-of-the-art health club that allows the best possible fitness and health
opportunities for the entire family. Parents can drop their swimmers off for
practice and stay at the club to enjoy the best workout experience in the Ann
Arbor area. To keep kids in tiptop competitive shape, we offer an off-season
Swim Team Workout. In addition to year round and summer memberships, we now
offer a swim team membership for those children ages 12 through 17. Please
contact the membership sales department at (734) 665-3738 ext 12 for details.
