Swim Competitions In San Jose



Youth Swim Meets for Level 5 and Up

Waterworks Aquatics hosts year-round swim competitions in San Jose. Our swim competitions provide a supportive environment to build swimming confidence and friendships. Children ages two and older, and level 5 or above will be grouped with their peers of similar age to compete with one another in our state-of-the-art San Jose aquatics facility.

All participants will receive a ribbon at the end of each meet. Once they have won 15 ribbons, they will receive a trophy rewarding them for their hard work and dedication.

Events will be called in order of event numbers. *Please be sure your child is ready in their swim suits, and with their goggles on (if they're wearing goggles), before we reach their event number. This will help us run an efficient swim competition.
