SEASONS
Winter Season: September- March | USA Swimming
Winter season begins in August and goes through the month of May. Central York Aquatics is proud to be a fully registered USA Swimming Team. This affiliation opens the door to a world of opportunities for our swimmers. From local meets to regional championships and even national competitions, our team is geared up for success at every level.
During the Winter, swimmers will be focused on the more competitive realm of USA Swimming. Championships are time qualifying and only swimmers that meet the qualifying times will be able to participate in the championship meet.
Summer Season: April-July | CASL(Capitol Area Swim League)
In addition to the USA Swimming events, our summer season includes participation in local club leagues. These smaller, more intimate leagues often feature dual meets - head-to-head matchups between two teams. This format provides an excellent entry point for new swimmers looking to dip their toes into the world of competitive swimming.
