Our next "mini season" of swim team begins Monday, May 3 and runs through Thursday, July 1. You'll find the practice schedule, which is the same as our current schedule, and other information here.

If you are currently swimming with us, you should have received an email from your coach about confirming your spot for the upcoming season. Current swimmers have priority and can confirm their spots until April 24.

Beginning Monday, April 26, we will open up slots to those who are not currently swimming with us. If you are interested in participating in the late spring/summer season, please email Pete to check availability first. You cannot register without confirmation from Pete.

There is no in-person registration for next season. All registration takes place via Community Pass.

Our annual swim marathon -- with some modifications -- will take place at the YWCA May 21-24.

Swimmers participating in the late spring/summer season, which begins May 3, will be eligible to participate.

Since we haven't had many meet opportunities over the last year, the one-hour swim marathon will give swimmers a chance to see the progress they've made in both their technique and endurance.

Mark your calendar and look for an email soon with more details.

We are still following the City of Chicago's Covid-19 emergency travel order, which requires a negative test or a 10-day quarantine when returning from a state in the orange category. You'll find the map with state designations and more information here.

Saturday, May 1 - Sunday, May 2

This meet has capacity limitations so only a few groups are eligible. You'll find our meet entry here.

*We will hold time trials for our younger swimmers -- groups that did not participate in March time trials -- the week of April 26 during regular practice sessions. Some groups, however, will have rescheduled practice times due to time trials. Look for an email from your coach and see practice changes above.

Congratulations to all of our older swimmers who competed in time trials recently at the YWCA.

You'll find complete results here. Way to go, Fish!

The Flying Fish community extends a heartfelt congratulations to longtime coach Mike Witt, who is getting married on April 24.

The Equity Institute of YWCA Evanston/North Shore in partnership with the City of Evanston is working on a project about the impact of sustainable solutions on housing affordability.

As part of this project, they're convening a focus group/community conversation to discuss affordability, racial equity, climate change, and energy.

You don't have to be a swimmer or former swimmer to participate. You simply must:

Make your voice heard! If you're interested in participating -- or know someone who is interested -- please email Pete.

It's not too late to sign up for the 21 Day Challenge. From now until May 12, you can receive a daily email to help you discover more about racial equity and social justice.
