Dear Hunt Valley Families,

🎉 What to Expect This Season (May 26 – July 20)

We’ve got a packed summer schedule full of:

  • Monday Meets, NVSL dual meets on Saturdays, Relay & IM Carnivals, and All-Star opportunities

  • Fun social events like team treats/ breakfasts, pep rallies, and team Tuesdays

  • Coaching tailored to all levels, from beginners to experienced swimmers and divers


🐠 Meet the Lil’ Rays! (June 29 – July 24)

Our Lil’ Rays program introduces our youngest swimmers to the water in a supportive, fun-filled environment. The program’s primary goal is for the “Lil’ Ray” to have fun while learning to swim and preparing to join the swim team in the future. Our coaches strive to help the older Lil’ Rays to become proficient enough, in at least one stroke, to participate in one of our Monday evening swim meets by the end of the season. At the coach’s discretion, swimmers may move up to attend the regular team practices as soon as they become ready.

We welcome back our Lil’ Rays Head Coach, Dawson McGill. With patient coaches and teen mentors, Lil’ Rays gain skills and confidence to join the big team in the future.

Let’s make it a summer to remember — Go Hunt Valley! 💙

Before proceeding with this registration, please make sure that your swimmer(s):

  • Already is or will be 6 years old by June 1, 2026 AND
  • Able to swim the 25-meter length of the pool without stopping, in freestyle or backstroke, while putting their face comfortably in the water as they swim,
  • Can follow and perform verbal swim lap instructions while listening and working within a large group.

For those unsure which program would best suit their swimmer’s needs, swimmer evaluations will take place during the first week of afternoon practices. May 26th is first day of afternoon practices. For more information see practices schedule here.

Volunteering

We can’t run any event without volunteers. Hunt Valley Swim Team requires each family to perform 15 hours of volunteer service in team events of their choosing. Parents can sign up for jobs during the registration process or come back to the Swimtopia site later to sign up. Check out our Meet and Events schedule for all volunteer opportunities here.

Only families of Lil’ Rays swimmers, with no additional swimmers on the swim or dive team, do not have to meet the 15-hour volunteer requirement.

Your involvement with the team in any shape or form is much appreciated.

If you have further questions about volunteering, registration, or the season in general, please let us know.

We look forward to seeing new and returning families in the 2026 Swim Team and Lil Rays.
