Competitive Swimming and Diving Program
The Swimming and Diving teams are provided by HFSC as two of the many programs offered to its members. Regular practice begins June 13th and runs Monday through Friday. Dive meets are usually held Friday evenings at 5:00 p.m. Most swim meets are scheduled on Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m., except for some weekday meets. See the Swim & Dive Meets page for this year's meet schedule.
Participation Criteria:
Age groups are by gender and by age as of June 1. The age groups are 8 and under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, and 15-19. We need swimmers and divers in all age groups. Swim team members must be able to swim one length of the pool using any stroke. Dive team members should be able to execute a minimum of five competitive dives.
Registration for the 2022 season will be conducted online via our membership website through June 14th. Please complete the online Registration Form and the check that you have read and agree with the All City Release and Waiver (checking the boxes on the online registration form serves as your electronic signature authorizing your child to be a member of the swim and/or dive team). The online registration completed and payment must be made in full in order for the swimmer/diver to participate in team practices and to compete.
2022 Participation Fees:
Hill Farm Home Swim Meets: HFSC is dependent upon help from all parents. Volunteer sign up will be online, watch the website and your emails for more information. There are opportunities for all levels of time commitment and experience. In addition, we need volunteers to help provide food for the lunch/snack bar at the meets.
Mini Moos
The Mini Moos program is a fun way to introduce younger swimmers to competitive swimming who are not yet able to swim a length of the swimming pool. Mini Mo participants attend 2 practices per week (either Tuesdays & Wednesday or Thursdays & Fridays). Practices times and dates will be posted soon. For safety reasons, in order to join the Mini Moo swim team, a swimmer needs to be able to swim across the diving well and tread water for thirty seconds unassisted. Mini Moos may join the team or move up to the 8 and under age group at any time during the swim team season with coach consent. Mini Moos work on their strokes and endurance with the goal of swimming in the final Hill Farm home swim meet of the season.
Dive Team
Anyone who has an interest in diving and can do at least 5 dives is encouraged to join the dive team. To compete in All-City dual meets, divers ages 10 & under perform 5 different dives. Older divers perform 6 different dives. Divers are encouraged to continue taking lessons to supplement their team practices.
All-City Swim & Dive Meet
Swimmers and divers must compete in three meets during the season to qualify for the All-City Meet. All teams participating in the league will compete in this exciting season-ending meet.
Each boy and girl who competes in the All-City Swimming and Diving Meet will be assessed an entry fee. The fees will be collected prior to the meet and can be paid at the pool office.

All City 2021
Several years ago, some of our coaches got together and created a video highlighting the many incredible moments from throughout the swim and dive season and aired it for the team at our annual spaghetti dinner. That first video was such a hit with everyone that this has now become an annual tradition and something that everyone looks forward to with gleeful anticipation as the season-ending meet approaches. This year, one of our awesome team members decided to take on this labor of love and the result was nothing short of AMAZING - he perfectly captured what makes our Hill Farm community so special.
This video was originally debuted for the team at our annual Get Fired Up! dinner on Sunday, July 25, 2021, on the eve of the first day of the All City Swim & Dive Meet. Here it is now, for you to watch on repeat until we do it all again in 2022.
Enjoy and...MOO-RAH!
