Get ready to dive into the 2023 Bexley Marlins Swim season!

With a 70-degree day this week, it’s almost warm enough to start thinking about the Marlins 2023 swim season. 

Highlights are below… and more information will be available in the Summer Bexley Recreation and Parks Guide (delivered in home and online on 4/10) and at our Parent Information meeting on 4/10.

But, for now, here’s everything you need to know to get started:

First off, mark your calendars with these important dates

  • Pre-Season Virtual Parent Meeting: Monday, April 10th
  • Registration for Residents: Monday, April 17th (via Bexley Recreation and Parks)
  • Registration for Non-Residents: Monday, May 1st (space available basis)
  • Registration Deadline: Monday, May 8th
  • Season Duration: Tuesday, May 30th – Saturday, July 15th

For 2023, we will again offer a “meet-only” registration option. To be eligible for this option, swimmers must be registered with a USA Swimming club team during the 2023 Summer long course season and attend 1 Bexley Marlins practice per week. We *highly* encourage club and High School swimmers to join the team!
