Three Village Swim Club (TVSC), etsablished in 1973, is a year-round competitive swim team offering high quality professional coaching and technique instruction for all ages and abilities. The goal of our team is to provide every member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and achieve success at his or her level of ability, from novice to international competitor.
We are a Non-Profit and Board of Directors run club.
USA-Swimming, is the governing body of more than 5,000 swim clubs with more than 300,000 members.
Metropolitan Local Swimming Committee (Metro LSC) is the governing body of New York City Metropoliton area swim clubs.
The short course swim season starts around Labor Day and ends around Easter and the long course season starts after Easter and ends in early August.
TVSC is not a learn-to-swim or stay-fit swim program. When ready, swimmers participate in swim meets throughout the swim season. Our youngest swimmers may compete in 2 to 3 meets, while our junior and senior team swimmers compete in as many as 15 swim meets per year.
TVSC is a private club not affiliated with Three Village School District, but uses the Ward Melville High School indoor pool for team practices.
From September until Memorial Day our team practices in the Ward Melville High School, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook School and Scraggy Hill Elimentary School pools. After Memorial Day the senior and junior teams practice in the Town of Brookhaven heated outdoor 50 meter pool in Holtsville Park in Holtsville.
Week day practice times for school days in the winter are between 5 PM and 8 PM. Novice teams practice one hour, junior teams between 1 and 1 1/2 hours plus dryland and senior team 2 hours plus dryland. Our program also offers two morning practices, 5:15-6:30 AM, for 13-and-Over junior and senior team swimmers.
At Three Village Swim Club the focus is on the long-term development of its athletes! School always comes first! TVSC swimmers also are good students as the time commitment with competitive swimming teaches them great time management and studying skills.
Two out of three graduating seniors continue their swimming career in College and many were recruited for their swimming and acedemic achievements - check our Alumni page. Each summer TVSC alumni swimming in college return to train with our team and compete for TVSC in summer meets.
Many senior team swimmers also train and/or compete for their High School and many become lifeguards for the Long Island state park beaches or Town of Brookhaven public pools and beaches.
