Aquatics
District 214 high schools have a long history of excellence in aquatics, and our Community Ed aquatics programs continue that storied tradition.
Join our Core Aquatics Swim team for ages 6 to 19 or our Core Aquatics Water Polo team for ages 10 to 18. Whether it’s your first competitive aquatics experience or you’re already on your high school team and want to improve your skills in the off-season, our aquatics programs are perfect for you!
Most practices are held in our state-of-the-art Natatorium at Prospect High School, a beautiful eight-lane, 25-meter pool and diving/water polo well. Some practices are also held at Wheeling High School or Elk Grove High School. Meets and games are held throughout the suburban Chicago area.
If you’re not ready for a competitive experience, then try our Learn 2 Swim classes or our Swim Team Prep program.
