Welcome to the Portland Porpoise Swim Club. Celebrating 36 years of swimming in Southern Maine!

What station should I register my swimmer for?

Returning swimmers (lessons or Intro to Swim Team) will be informed by their coach as to the right station group for their registration.  If you unsure of your swimmers, placement please email Allison Maurer at [email protected].

New swimmers should register for the Station 1-4 grouping.  In our experience nearly all swimmers new to the program need to work on their breathing, balance, and fundamentals of stroking and kicking.  Remember they can progress at their own pace so will not be "stuck" somewhere they do not need to be for weeks on end.  The assessment will let us know where within Station 1-4 they need to start.  Also if the assessment shows your swimmers is ready for a higher level than Station 4 we will work with you to get them into the proper group.
