Welcome to the St. Johns Sea Lions!
Building confident swimmers, strong athletes, and a community that makes waves!
The St. Johns Sea Lions are a youth swim program focused on developing swimming skills, building confidence, encouraging teamwork, and having fun in and out of the pool. Whether your swimmer is just getting started or ready to take on competitive swimming, there's a place for them here!
Want to Join the Sea Lions?
We offer two programs to help young swimmers grow their skills and confidence:
- Sea Lions: A competitive swim team for youth ages 6 and up who are ready to develop their swimming skills and compete.
- Sea Pups: A program for swimmers ages 5–8 who would benefit from extra guidance, instruction, and confidence-building in the pool.

Returning swimmers will receive an email notification before registration opens to the public. Be sure to register early, as spots may fill quickly!
