Park Village Porpoises

Registration for the 2026 season has closed. Any exceptions must be approved by the head coach and the swim board.

The Park Village Porpoises are a member of the Tarheel Swimming Association -- North Carolina's largest summer recreational youth swim league. Our home meets and practices are held at the Park Village Pool. For more information, please contact [email protected].

All residents of Park Village aged 5 to 18 years as of June 1st are eligible to join the team, provided they meet minimum water safety requirements. League dual meets are held on Tuesday evenings in June through mid-July. HOA dues must be in good standing to join the swim team. Park Village homeowners and renters welcome!

Water Safety Policy: All children will be evaluated for water safety during the first two weeks of practice. We are not concerned with legal stroke technique, but we must ensure all children are safe in the water. Children 7-10 should be able to swim a full length of the pool (25 yards) without touching the bottom or holding on to the lane lines. Children 11+ should be able to swim two full lengths of the pool (50 yards). Children 6 & under need to be "water safe" - they should be able to jump in and confidently get themselves safely to the edge of the pool (no flotation aids, no holding onto lane lines) as well as follow the instructions of our coaches. To participate in meets, children 6 & under must be able to swim 15 yards unassisted. All decisions regarding water safety and meet readiness will be made by our coaching staff; coach decisions related to water safety are final.

Volunteering Policy:
The swim team is run entirely by parent volunteers. We require all families to complete a minimum of four volunteer credits throughout the season, only one of which may be earned at the Mock Meet. There are plenty of volunteering positions suitable for those new to swim team. Please note that volunteering positions require your full attention - if you have small children, please arrange to have someone else supervise them on the pool deck during your shift. There are some positions that are considered critical - these roles must be filled in order to hold the meet. While rare, we reserve the right to reassign volunteer roles to cover these critical roles to avoid forfeiting a meet. 

Families who choose not to volunteer will be charged a volunteer fee of $280 at the end of the season. If something comes up and you cannot complete your credits, we can prorate your credits ($70 per credit). Please contact [email protected] for more details.
