You can make a difference: Now is the time for all good swimmers and divers to come to the aid of their sport. We need your help to show the ISD 194 School Board that the current pool situation--which is now in its twelfth year--is unacceptable. We encourage all swimmers, divers, parents, and friends from all of the STORM communities to engage in the initiative to develop the pools and diving wells in Lakeville. You don't need to be a Lakeville resident to participate. The pool and diving shortage affects all us and a solution would benefit all of us.
Learn more at a new Web site devoted to communicating facts, updates, and action items with the goal of developing an aquatic strategy for Lakeville and the surrounding communities. Then, please sign up to receive automatic updates, and pass the information on to your friends and relatives:

Why watch a parade when you can be in it?: Sometimes, just showing up makes the difference. You can have fun while showing your support for your swim and dive teams by marching with STORM and the high school teams at the Pan-O-Prog parade. We participated in the parade a couple of years ago, and it was a blast! Please mark the date: July 11 at 5:30 p.m.. More details will follow and will also be posted on the Lakeville Swim Community site.

As temps rise, records fall!: At the Rochester Summer Invite last weekend, dozens of team records fell! Did you know that STORM swimmers have been setting new team records consistently at the meets we've been attending? Congratulations, swimmers!

The South Metro STORM Swim Club (STORM) is a non-profit organization that provides members of the Prior Lake, Lakeville, and surrounding communities year-round access to a team-based swimming program.
STORM offers swimming clinics for novice swimmers and increasingly challenging levels of participation for beginning swimmers up to advanced competitors. A Gold option is also available to swimmers who want greater focus on achieving their goals. Additionally, maintenance and masters programs are available for middle and high school swimmers and adults. Swimmers of any age or ability can enroll in private lessons to help them get started with the correct technique or hone their skills.
STORM is the fastest growing club in the state of Minnesota. We are currently the second largest club out of 71 registered clubs. Our athletes have attained Championship, Zone, and Junior and Senior National qualifying times. The STORM has a dedicated coaching staff of two full-time coaches, eight dedicated part-time coaches, and countless current and past parents who volunteer significant time to the betterment of this great club.
For more information about STORM, see the Contacts, Team Information, and Swimming Information sections. Then hop in the pool and join in the fun!
