Welcome to Napa Valley Swim Team! We have been serving our community for over 50 years. Whether your child is starting to explore the sport of swimming or has taken lessons before, our recreational program offers your kids the opportunity to discover the fun of swimming, become a safer swimmer, and explore all of the benefits swimming provides in and out of the water. Our professional coaching staff is experienced and focused on providing high-quality instruction. Napa Valley Swim Team is a non-profit organization, parent-run, funded by families, fundraisers, and swimmer fees.

Family Fundraising Commitment

In order for NVST to provide the coaching, pool time, and other services of a high-quality swimming program and keep our dues reasonable, we require most member families to fundraise. We call the required fundraising the Family Fundraising Commitment (FFC). Unlike dues, which are priced per swimmer, the FFC is per family. The FFC for each family is determined by the highest swimmer’s practice group. Although annual, we break the total amount into monthly increments. FFC can be partially or wholly offset by designated fundraising activities like Swim-A-Thon, Corporate Team Sponsorships, Fiesta Ticket Sales, Bulb Sales, etc. A portion of each fundraising activity is credited to FFC. Note that because FFC is considered to be annual, inactive swimmers are still responsible for their monthly FFC amount.
