The Hammerhead Swim Club is a member of USA Swimming and has a staff of USA Swimming instructors. These USA Swimming certified coaches attend every practice and meet. Our club practices at SUNY FREDONIA while also using other local pools in the northern Chautauqua County schools when necessary. Perdominately we are swim at SUNY Fredonia. The Hammerhead Swim Club is open to all levels & various skill sets as we offer flexible practice schedules and optional competitive meets. Practices are not mandatory but offered 4x times a week Monday-Thursday and optional meets typically running on the weekends at local Western NY venues for our full-time members.

*For information on Learn-To-Swim please see our "LEARN-TO-SWIM" tab as this section is for our regular day-to-day members.
Practices begin 9/16/24 at SUNY FREDONIA's Natatorium which is located in Steele Hall.
FLEXIBILITY / FLEXIBILITY / FLEXIBILITY- what makes our program unique is that nothing is mandatory and you can make the schedule work for you and your family. If your child has a conflict and doesn't attend practice, pick another day to come, either way, we are there and excited to be coaching your child. Same goes for meets, if you can't attend one, not a big deal. This makes it so your child can participate guilt free in other programs that our area offers while hopefully still having a great experience with HHSC.
