Why Join LHPYC Swimming?
At Lighthouse Point Yacht Club, we believe swimming builds more than just strong bodies—it teaches discipline, builds confidence, brings joy, and creates lifelong friendships.
Here’s why families love being part of our swim team:
Fitness for Life
Swimming is a full-body workout that’s gentle on the joints. It keeps kids active, strong, and healthy—and it's a skill they’ll use for life.

Everyone Gets to Compete
Every swimmer gets the chance to race, improve, and celebrate their personal progress. There are no benchwarmers—everyone matters.

Friendship & Belonging
From the very first day, swimmers become part of a team that encourages and supports one another—in and out of the pool.
