Tropical Storms - 2026 Season
The Tropical Storm is a five-week development program of the Forest Lakes Hurricanes Swim Team. It is designed to be an introduction to the competitive swim team. This program will provide the basics of competitive swim strokes.
This program is not a substitute for swim lessons.
COS: $195 per swimmer.
($10 discount for each additional swimmer/family.)
The Tropical Storm program is for swimmers at least age 4 years by June 1st of the swim season. Swimmers must be able to swim at least half the length of the pool (about 12-13 meters). Exceptions are made on an individual basis. We will consider all swimmers from age 4-10 years that need additional time to master the requirements to be upgraded to a Hurricane.
All swimmers must be a Forest Lakes Community resident or legacy pool member to be eligible to participate in the program.
It is possible for swimmers to begin as Tropical Storms in June and be upgraded to Hurricanes. Your swimmer must pass the stated swim test. These decisions are made by the Head Coach and the swimmers parents. Swimmers may only move to Hurricanes if space is available.
