Hello Everyone:
Due to current board restrictions due to COVID-19, we will need to delay the start of CORE. At this time, we can only
move forward with our High School Prep program, opened only to Neshaminy Students.
The Board will meet by October 1 st to review the current conditions and decide on a path forward. Once this decision is
made, we will communicate with you CORE’s next steps. Should CORE be granted permission to move forward, we will
tentatively plan to begin October 11 th with evaluations planned for the week prior.
While I realize we are all anxious to get started, we need to do it safely and follow school board policy.
In the meantime, I encourage you to continue to register using this google survey so that we may be able to continue to
pass along information to those of you who are interested in swimming this winter.
Thank you for your patience during these unparalleled times.
Regards,
Brian Suter
Director of Competitive Swimming
Neshaminy School District

We are back!

Hello and Welcome to the 2021-22 Neshaminy CORE Swim Team! I am excited to begin the journey to restart our NSD community program!
As of today, I have been given permission to move forward with the program. We have identified staff interested in coaching our team and we have determined a practice schedule. As of today, the Suburban Aquatic League (SAL) has yet to determine what competition will look like.
While we await a few clarifications, it is critical that we identify the number of interested participants. Below is a link to our swim team registration survey. By completing this survey, we will be able to determine the number, general ability, and age range of our team for this season. Should we need to limit the number of participants, we will determine participation on a first signed up-first spot offered basis.
Season Length
At this time, we are planning to offer High School Prep and SAL Season. Should we have interest, we will consider offering an extended USA Swimming season.
1. HS Prep-Practices will be held from October 4th thru the Thursday prior to the first day of PIAA High School Swim Season. Swimmers will be eligible to compete in all SAL competitions before and during HS season.
2. Age group SAL Swim Season-October 4th- January 30th
