Registration begins today, the cost of Intro to Competitive Swimming is $60 for members and $120 for potential members.

The Jets are Jamestown’s original swim team with roots reaching back over 90 years. The team is made up of swimmers from multiple school districts in Chautauqua County and Pennsylvania. Swimmers range from first time on a swim team to state and national qualifiers. The Jets invite all swimmers 5-18 years of age who are able to swim a length of the pool front crawl and backstroke to come and try it out. All swimmers who want to have fun and race are encouraged to try us out. The Jets will be starting their 92nd season in September.
