Aliso Viejo

Swim Team

The Flying Fish Swim Team is a developmental swim team that practices Monday through Thursday, year-round at the Aliso Viejo Aquatic Center. The summer program is hosted at Aliso Niguel High School.

All swimmers wanting to join AVFF will need to tryout unless they have just graduated out of Academy 4 of the Learn-to-Swim program with Premier Swim Academy.

New swimmer? Tryout here! Current AVFF or Academy 5/6 Swimmer? Enroll here!

The AVFF program operates year-round for swimmers ages 5 to 14, offering two separate participation options. The core program runs throughout the school year, providing 10 months of programming with monthly time trials, game days, and much more.

Alternatively, AVFF offers a summer program that provides two months of summer community swim team programming and five local league meets, making it the perfect way to re-energize your swimmer or introduce them to swimming as a sport.
