Mini Swim Team:
Mini Team is a developmental swim
program for children 8 years and younger. The main focus is on
improving the technique of the swimmer's strokes, as well as
learning the fundamental swimming elements such as streamlining,
starting off the blocks. The main goal for Mini team is to
prepare for swimmers for a race in a swim meet. The kids
practice Monday through Friday for 4-5 weeks from 11:00 to
11:30am or 11:30 to 12 noon, depending on their swimming level.
At the beginning of the season, Mini swimmers should be able to
swim at least one lap with minimal to no assistance. The season
culminates with our annual "Mini Meet" held at Karakung on
Sunday July 17, 2011. Some mini swimmers will have the
opportunity to swim in a JV meet during the season based on
their progress and development.
Try-outs are on June 21st at 11am; practices begin June
22nd
Varsity & JV Swim Team:
Karakung also has a JV and Varsity
Swim Team for kids ages 5 to 19 years old. We have a long
history of participating in the Delco Swim League. Karakung is
proud to be part of the "A" league, swimming against cross town
rivals Hilltop and Lawrence Park as well as Springfield,
Broomall's Lake and Creekside. In 2009, Karakung was the "A"
league champion and in 2010 we tied for 2nd place. Members of
the swim team 12 and under participate in JV meets on Wednesday
nights. The entire team is eligible to participate in Varsity
meets on Saturday mornings which are often times very energetic,
fun and exciting. Practice is held 5 mornings a week at Karakung
for every age group 8-18. Whether you are the best swimmer on
the team, or just starting out, being a part of the KSC swim
team is an exciting, fun, and rewarding experience. Come out and
give it a try!

Mini Diving:
The Mini Diving team is a developmental group where children of
any age learn the basic skills needed in springboard diving. The
divers learn forwards and backwards hurdles followed by
different jumps and dives, such as tuck jumps, front dives, back
dives, and flips. We practice in two sessions, from 10:45-11:15
and from 11:15-12:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We
have a "Mini Meet" at the end of the season to show off
everything that the divers have learned. When the divers have
mastered enough dives, they move to the Varsity Diving team to
compete against other clubs.
Varsity Diving:
The Varsity Diving team is a competitive team that represents
Karakung in meets against other teams in the Delco League. We
practice Monday through Friday mornings in two sessions, from
8:30-9:30 and from 9:30-10:30. Meets are on Tuesdays evenings
with a start time of 6:00. We have an extremely large team and
not every diver can compete in every meet. Divers are chosen to
compete in meets based on ability and on fairness; every diver
will have the chance to compete in at least one meet in the
season.
