Swimmers love to talk about swimming and love to introduce new people to the sport." With more athletes joining each year, the Capital City swim team is on a steady rise.

The team’s inaugural members have set the stage for future Cavaliers, leaving behind a foundation of hard work, resilience, and team spirit. As they continue to grow and make their mark, one thing is certain: Capital City Swim is here to stay, building a legacy with every practice, every race, and every new swimmer who takes the plunge.
