2025 SEASON

JOIN THE TEAM!   
We are open to any student in the Berkley School District, 5 - 18 years, who can swim at least one length of the pool unassisted.  The Hurricane Swim Team holds daily practices from May - July competing in the Northwest Suburban Swim League.  Guided by an outstanding professional coaching staff, the members of the Hurricanes are looking forward to another season of competition and fun.  
Pre-season practice for all swimmers begins in late May.  
The regular season runs through July followed by the “A” and “B” finals and the team banquet.
