About the Oak Hills Swim Team
The Oak Hills Swim Team has been active for 40 years! Hundreds of swimmers have learned to swim and competed under the Oak Hills Recreation Program, establishing itself as one of the hallmarks of the Oak Hills neighborhood. In previous years, the Oak Hills Swim Team has participated in the Metro Portland Summer Swim League. This year will continue to be exciting as most of the teams are growing!
We will offer swimmers the opportunity to learn more about the essential four strokes, get great exercise, and most importantly have fun with their friends throughout the summer. Swim Team registration is open to all Oak Hills residents and their families. Registration is also open to swimmers from outside Oak Hills if they are sponsored by a resident. Team size is limited and priority is given to Oak Hills residents.
