PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE IN ITS ENTIRETY before registering here on our website. Registration will automatically close when we reach our 120-athlete capacity for the 2026 Swim Season.

Schedule:

Practices start the day after Memorial Day (Tuesday, May 26th). Please view our 2026 meet and practice schedule anytime on our website.

Volunteer duties:

• This community swim team relies on the participation and support of its families. As part of the registration process, your family is required to sign up for volunteer duties. Registration cannot be completed without signing up for your volunteer duties OR paying an elective, up-front volunteer buy-out fee.
• A volunteer fee of $360 will be collected upon failure to complete 100% of your required volunteer duties during the season. If your family does not fulfill their volunteer duties, you agree to pay a $360 buyout at the end of the swim season (July 30, 2026). There are NO exceptions. If you’re unable to fulfill your duties at a meet, it’s your responsibility to find a replacement and notify the Volunteer Coordinator.
• Stroke Judges are desperately needed! The training is easily completed online and you have a poolside view to see your kid(s) swim. Never miss a race!

Thank you for volunteering so MKW has a successful season!
