Tuckahoe is proud to be a charter member of the Northern Virginia Swim League (NVSL), established in 1956. Our swim team supports over 300 kids aged 5 to 18, providing an exciting introduction to competitive swimming. Families can look forward to a summer filled with training, competitions, and fun events.

We also offer the Little Tigers Swim Program, a developmental initiative designed for our youngest members. This program includes daily training and participation in team events, helping them work toward becoming full members of the swim team.

Registration for the Tuckahoe Swim Team opens on March 1st. During the winter months, many of our Tigers continue to train with the Tuckahoe Winter Swim Program, ensuring they keep building their skills for the next summer season!

Tuckahoe offers a competitive summer dive team for athletes of all skill levels, from those learning to jump off a 1m springboard to advanced year-round divers. On our team, athletes will develop their competitive diving skills, including building a six-dive list, while also fostering a sense of teamwork both in and out of the pool.

The Flying Tigers team ensures a summer full of fun and activities for the entire family. After summer wraps up, our Tuckahoe Winter Dive Program continues to support athletes, helping them take bigger leaps and further develop their diving skills as they grow in the sport!

While many of our aquatic programs focus on children, Tuckahoe has something for everyone in the family.

In addition to private instruction, you can participate in group activities tailored to your interests and skill levels. Whether you’re looking to improve your swimming, dive competitively, or just enjoy time in the water, we offer a variety of options to engage and inspire all members of the family!
