Black Dog Swimming

We are pleased to announce Winston Vermilyea will be joining Black Dog Swimming as co-head coach. Winston has over a decade of experience in competitive swim coaching, mostly focusing on age group and developmental swimming levels. He was most recently at Edina Swim Club as Lead Age Group Coach. He will initially focus on Strokers and Age Groups for Black Dog as well. He will start Spring Session with us.

We are grateful to have Winston’s experience to help shape Black Dog’s future.
Welcome Winston!

Please watch the calendar here while we finalize the typical practice days and times for the different groups for Spring session.

Black Dog Families,

Registration for Spring Session is open (see Registration menu, or go directly through active!) Spring Session will begin on 4/11/2022 and run through 6/10/2022. A tentative schedule will be posted this week As our coaching staff grows, we will add days and pool locations, and scheduling or pool locations may shift. Please note: We will have meets during Spring Session.

We look forward to Spring Season!

The Fall and Winter Registrations are open now.

You can register for Fall only, Winter only, or combined Fall and Winter with a discount on season fees for combined seasons.

Swimming is more fun with friends. If you know of anyone interested in joining Black Dog, you can benefit too. You will earn a $50 credit on your Active Network Account when your friend has been on the team for an entire season. Bring the “Black Dog Bring a Friend” Card with the new athletes’ name and your name on it to register for the credit. If multiple Black Dog members have convinced a new member to join, you can split up the $50 between multiple friends. The registrant must be a new member of the club, not a returning member.
