Wickliffe swim team- join us!

Looking to come be apart of the most fun team around? Want to learn the sport and have a lot of fun? Maybe you just want to try something new? The Wickliffe swim team may be just the fit for you. 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️

Hi everyone, as this season quickly approaches (31 days, 17 hours, and 24 minutes exactly from when I wrote this), I am surely hoping to see plenty of participants for the swim team this year.

Swimming is unlike many sports, it is team based, but also an individual sport. Our sport is a fit for all, beginners to veterans, everyone has the same opportunity.

“Coach, I don’t know how to swim!”
Well, that’s my job to teach you! We accept everyone and anyone who is looking to be apart of the team.

“Where do we swim?”
We swim right here at Onyx Gyms in Willoughby Hills

Any other questions? Come to the team information meeting on October 1st, even if you just want to learn more. At this meeting, I will go over everything the team has to offer, what goes into the sport, and any other questions you may have. I also will happily sit and answer any additional questions after the meeting.

Open to middle school this year as well, all at the same meeting!

I hope to see you there!

Shout out to our WWD families for your unending support! We couldn't have pulled this off without you! See you at the awards on Thursday!

Another Champs weekend is in the books... and what an incredible one it was! 💙💛🏊

Congratulations to our 2026 SSL Champions!

🥇 Division 1 Champions: Highland Heights Hurricanes
🥇 Division 2 Champions: Cleveland Heights Tigersharks

Your hard work, dedication, and outstanding performances in the pool earned every bit of this accomplishment. Congratulations to your swimmers, coaches, and families!

To every team that competed this weekend—thank you. Your competitive spirit, creative tent decorations, themed costumes, unforgettable cheers, and nonstop energy are what make the Suburban Swim League so special. You are the heartbeat of this program, and you reminded us all why Champs is the highlight of every summer.

A heartfelt thank you to the Wickliffe Water Devils and Willoughby Stingers Swim Team for hosting this year's championship meet - and to the Blazing Barracudas for your sponsorship! To the board members, officials, timers, volunteers, concessions crews, ribbon writers, announcers, and countless others working behind the scenes—you kept an enormous event running smoothly from the first race to the last. Your time and dedication do not go unnoticed.

And finally, to the parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, friends, and every family member who filled the stands all season long...

Thank you.

Thank you for the early mornings, late nights, forgotten goggles, broken swim caps, endless loads of towels, last-minute snack runs, countless volunteer shifts, and cheering until your voices disappeared. Many of you practically lived at the Wickliffe Aquatic Center this weekend, and your unwavering support of your swimmers—and this league—is what keeps summer swim alive year after year.

Whether you volunteered, brought food, timed races, worked concessions, organized your team, or simply stood on the deck cheering every swimmer home... we see you, we appreciate you, and we couldn't do it without you.

We are filled with gratitude for everyone who came together to make this weekend such a tremendous success.

🏅 Final result sheets will be distributed later this week and will also be posted on our SSL FAQ page so everyone can access them if you happen to miss them.

From all of us—thank you for another unforgettable Champs.

Until next summer... ❤️💙💛
