About Us

TEAM SOPRIS is a year-round swim team that serves all levels of interested athletes. We are a family friendly team and strive to provide a safe and supportive child protective environment.  We have a  highly trained coaching staff, who have been coaching competitive swimming for many years. We are registered with USA Swimming and Colorado Swimming Inc. and are members of the Western Slope League. We train at the Glenwood Springs Community Center and compete in swim meets throughout the state and region.

​

The Team Sopris program offers six practice levels: Discovery, Challenge, CUDA, Junior, Senior. Team Sopris also offers a High School training group and a Masters swim program.  After joining the team, a youth swimmer will be evaluated by the coaching staff and placed in their appropriate practice group. Discovery is the beginning level of our program, and the proficiency of the swimmers increases at each level with corresponding increases in the practice time and intensity.
