Welcome to the Dulles Farms Swim Team Online Registration for the 2026 Summer Swim Season!

The process is simple for both new and returning members. You'll get access to your own private account that will enable you to easily declare for swim meets, sign up for jobs, see your children's swim records, maintain your own contact information, and more.

Eligibility Requirements

Our competitive swim team is open to community residents* ages 5-18.

To swim competitively with the Devil Rays, all new swimmers (including Mini Rays who did not compete by the end of last season) are required to pass swim evaluations based on the following:

• Swimmers, ages 8 & under, must be able to swim 25 meters (one length of the pool) on top of the water without touching the bottom or using the lane line for assistance.
• Swimmers, ages 9 & above, must be able to swim 50 meters (two lengths of the pool) on top of the water without touching the bottom or using the lane line for assistance.

Our preparatory Mini Rays program is open to community residents, ages 5 & above, who are not ready to swim competitively but aspire to do so. This program is designed for swimmers who have learned basic swimming skills (i.e., getting in and out of the pool safely, putting their face into the water and able to control breathing, floating on their back, treading water, etc.) and are ready for stroke development. These swimmers are comfortable in the water alone, and in a group setting, but aren't able to make it all the way across the pool safely. Minis must be able to swim 10 meters on their own.

* Residents are defined by the following:

• Dulles Farms Resident (swimmer resides in one of the four Dulles Farms' subdivisions: Stratshire Crossing, Virginia Manor, Westridge, White Oak Crest)
• Non-Resident (swimmer resides outside of one of the four Dulles Farms' subdivision)

Registration Fees

** Non-Dulles Farms Resident fees include an additional $25 per family.

Registration fees cover costs for coach salaries, ribbons, awards, team t-shirt, Swimtopia subscription, equipment, liability insurance, ODSL fees, and social events.

All payments will be collected at the time of registration via credit/debit card.

Volunteer Requirements

Our swim team operates successfully because of the support and dedication from all families. Each family is required to complete volunteer obligations which are tracked via a point system (specific 2026 points will be determined once registration is closed).

To hold families accountable, a $500 conditional volunteer fee will be applied to this registration but will only be charged to the pre-approved credit card after the season is over if the family does not meet its volunteer obligation. A family will be charged $50 per unfulfilled point, with a maximum charge of $500.

The pre-approval is not a "hold" on the card but is an authorization for your card details to be stored temporarily by the payment system for future use should payment be necessary. If your family meets its volunteer obligation the conditional fee will be lifted, and credit card information will no longer be stored.

For the 2026 season, we are implementing a "Buy Out" option for volunteering. If your family does not intend to help with volunteering this season, you have the option to pay $400 on or before April 30, 2026 to opt out of the volunteer requirement.

Families who do not fulfill their volunteer requirement and refuse to pay the volunteer fee will not be allowed to swim for Dulles Farms the following season.
