| Competitive
swimming in Trumbull is made up of a program sponsored by the
Trumbull Board of Recreation and by the Trumbull Pisces Swimming
Association Inc. The various programs provide comprehensive,
competitive swimming opportunities for girls and boys and ages 6
to 18. To be eligible to participate in the program, swimmers
must be able to fulfill the requirements of their age group.
The Trumbull
Pisces Swimming Association, Inc. manages the Trumbull Pisces
Swim Team and offers additional competitive opportunities,
including United States Swimming
(U.S.A.) competition. The Association also provides social
activities, newsletters and awards. To cover the costs of the
Association's activities, fund-raisers are held and a membership
fee is charged.
The various programs provide opportunities for girls and boys of
different abilities and interest levels to participate together
but compete equally against children of like ability and
interest. No one is penalized for being "too slow" or "too
fast". A program of this size requires the support and
involvement of all parents to work successfully.
Membership participation is required at all fund-raisers and
meets to cover the Team's operating expenses.
