The Lenexa Lazers swim and dive team is a youth recreational program for ages 5 to 18. Athletes learn skills and technique in a fun, safe and team-oriented atmosphere.
The coaching staff is dedicated to swimmers’ development. They encourage hard work and a positive attitude in practice and at meets, in the water and out. The program is directed by City of Lenexa representatives and a volunteer advisory board.
