South Milwaukee Aquatice Club
If you are looking to improve your swimming skills and compete with others within your age group and ability, then you must register for this program.We have partnered with Schroeder Swim Team offer one of the finest competitive swim programs in the area, with multiple training levels of instruction from the Novice swimmer through the Senior level swimmer. Any swimmer who can complete one length of the pool (25 yards) is encouraged to join. Sharks Swim Team teaches and enhances the skills and techniques for competitive swimming. Swimmers should bring their own practice suit, goggles, and swim cap.

Private Lessons
When our kids learn to swim, they gain strength and confidence in the water and the ability to be SAFE! Our instructors will design specific lesson plans to meet your child's needs (beginner water skills, introduc- tion to water skills, fundamentals, and stroke development).

Regular attendance is important to success in school and we expect that when school is in session, students are engaged in learning. However, because we live in Wisconsin and our winter weather is unpredictable, the School District of South Milwaukee has established the following guidelines for decisions related to inclement weather. Please refer to these guidelines when you have questions about possible school closings.
