Join the Phoenix Sunfish
Join Us
Our team encompasses all abilities from novice to former collegiate. To join, you should have at the least a minimum grasp of the front crawl, aka Freestyle. We can teach you the other strokes over time. The best way to see if the team is right for you is to come to a practice and swim. There are no "tryouts" or minimum times, however you should be able to meet the basic requirement above. There is no fee to come explore the team. Have more questions? Check out the FAQs.
If you decide to join the team, you will need to become a member of United States Masters Swimming (USMS) by filling out and submitting the USMS membership registration form. You will also need to register as a Sunfish Member.
Visiting members from other USMS teams are welcome to join us during your time in Phoenix. If you aren't familiar with the Phoenix area and need further information on getting to practice, contact the team leadership.
