The Kings Ridge Water Wizards compete in the Northern Virginia Swim League (NVSL) Division 12. Joining the swim team will be the most fun you have all summer!

For the youngest swimmers, Kings Ridge has a developmental team called the Mini-Wizards. These swimmers are generally 5-6 years old and can propel themselves across the shallow end without touching the bottom. The Mini Wizard program is not a "learn to swim" program. All potential Minis will be screened at the beginning of the season for skill requirements. If your child is not ready for the developmental team, group or private swim lesson can be arranged with the coaching staff or lifeguards. The Minis meet 4 days per week for 30 minutes. The goal for the Minis is to improve swim skills and be able to compete in one B meet this swim season. The Mini-Wizard season is June 27th through July 23rd. Each member receives a participation award and is included in team pictures, activities, and social events.
The success of our team depends on volunteers. Please support your children and the team by volunteering for one of the many opportunities available. Most of the opportunities require little or no training, others require a brief training clinic sponsored by the NVSL. We are in need of new Stroke and Turn judges for the upcoming season. This is a wonderful opportunity to help the pool, learn to recognize legal/illegal swim strokes, and help your own swimmer through your knowledge.
