Swimming with the Swamis
Race Swami Belle Haven exists to give young people from Belle Haven, East Palo Alto and east Menlo Park a real competitive swimming experience, in a healthy and stimulating environment where they can grow, compete and have fun while learning from coaches who care about them.
We are a member club of USA Swimming and compete under the sanction of Pacific Swimming, the local affiliate. All ages and skill levels are welcome, we run year round, and we take new athletes at any time of year regardless of ability to pay.
