Palisades Porpoises

Welcome to the Palisades Porpoises Swim Team 2026 season!  We're excited for this upcoming season and to welcome our new Co-Head Coach, Yuki Nagao!  Yuki will be joining Norah Rothman as co-head coaches of the Palisades Porpoises this year. Check out the main page for more information on Coaches Yuki and Norah. 

The registration process is the same this year and simple for both new and returning families/members.  We ask that you enter (or confirm if you are a returning family) the information for your swimmer(s), and sign the Liability and Treatment Consent waivers.  

Swim Team: a fun, competitive team with swim meets for all levels! Wednesday night swim meets are open to all swimmers. Saturday morning swim meet rosters are based on times. Practices are every day. Swim team fee is $225 for first swimmer, and $200 for additional swimmers in the same family IF registered at the same time. 

Pre-team: For young swimmers (ages 4-7) on their way to joining the Swim Team. Focus on learning all four strokes and competing in the end of season Mini-meet. (Some swimmers may be moved up to Swim Team at the coaches' discretion). Practices are three days/week. Pre-team fee is $150/swimmer.

Porpoise Pups: Palisades' Learn to Swim program for our youngest members (ages 3-5)! Focus is on having fun and getting used to being in the water. Practices are three days/week. Swimmers participate in the end of season mini-meet! Porpoise Pups fee is $150/swimmer.

Included with all registrations: Two personalized swim caps per family. (Families with three or more swimmers will receive one cap per swimmer)

Please note: we are unable to refund or pro-rate fees, and sibling discounts are available ONLY at the time of the first swimmer's registration. Not sure you want to commit? Come to the first week of practice to test it out, May 25-29.  Please email [email protected] before you go to notify the A meet reps, and to let the coaches know.
