"TCAT" PENGUINS
Court Reserve is open for registration.
The Chapel Hill Tennis Club is thrilled to have the TCAT Penguins return for SUMMER 2024! TCAT participates in the Chapel Hill Summer Swim League and offers quality coaching and technique instruction. The goal of our team is to facilitate improvement of swimming skills in an enjoyable atmosphere while emphasizing healthy competition and good sportsmanship. We strive to provide fun, friendship, and love of swimming for children of all skill levels, novice to expert. TCAT is open to children ages 4-18 who can swim 25m (one pool length). If your child is new to swimming, they may participate in our Lil’ Penguins program, a bridge to our TCAT swimming.
