Encore Swim Team is a summer competitive race team in San Jose that practices at Pioneer High School. We're a splashy, spirited crew of swimmers, families, and coaches who believe in hard work, loud cheering, and snacks after practice (hey, motivation comes in many forms).
Whether you're here to drop time, make friends, or just figure out how to wear a swim cap without pulling out half your hair—Encore is the place for you. We train hard, laugh often, and believe that every swimmer—from the first-time flipper to the seasoned butterflyer—has something awesome to bring to the lane.
Swimmers from the ages of 5 to 18 participate in Mon-Thurs evening swim practices from May through July each year, with the opportunity to compete in 7 Saturday swim meets starting in June.
Ready to join us? Early registration is from February 15 - March 31. Mark your calendar to enjoy a discounted rate!
Let’s go Encore Dolphins!
New Swimmers
Has your swimmer not yet swum on a team, or is he/she not really sure how to swim all of the strokes? No problem, they'll learn! We have a great group of coaches, particularly for our younger ages, and they'll all be swimming all four strokes by the end of the season. The only thing your child will need to do is join us at tryouts and swim across the pool (one length, any attempted stroke) unassisted to make the team! (In the event that your swimmer does not pass, your registration will be fully refunded).
Experienced Swimmers
The summer is a great opportunity for any swimmer, particularly those interested in water polo and swim team, to practice, compete and strengthen skills. We encourage participation in all of the Saturday meets, and look forward to seeing our swimmers improve their times and technique as they get closer to the final Champs meet in July!
Practices at Pioneer High School
Unlike many other swim teams, we practice in the late afternoon/evening hours (after work) and you do not need to be associated with a Cabana club to participate!
Practices are 4 days a week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday.
We encourage you to come to all practices and meets, but it's up to you to decide what is best for your swimmer and your summer schedule.
5:00pm - 6:00 pm 5-8 year olds
6:00pm - 7:00 pm 9-12 year olds.
7:00pm - 8:00 pm 13-18 year olds
Your age as of May 31 determines which age you would swim with across the season. Swimmers will swim with their age group at practice unless prior arrangements are made with their coach. If your child is in another sport, you can work with the coach to determine when he/she will attend practice.
