Pool practice groups
Swim clubs are organizations centered on competitive or recreational swimming.
A swim club typically offers coaching, structured practices, and entry into meets for members, especially youth swimmers developing their skills.
The term also refers to private facilities with pools where members swim and socialize: The country club doubles as a swim club in summer.
Some swim clubs focus purely on competition; others emphasize fitness or family recreation.
