​Fall 2024 Updates!

We are excited to welcome you (back) to Colorado Blue for '24-25! 

 

This year we are going to focus on Team Building for Colorado Blue. We are adding team events (socials after the practice meets on Friday nights!), will be sitting as athletes / a team at meets and will add more items to our uniforms (warm-ups!).

​​

Enrollment is open for returning families and for placement days (try-outs) for new swimmers!

 

We hope to build on our success of ‘23-’24 and send even more competitors to Colorado State level meets. We also are on track to start sending swimmers to Western Regional meets.  We are proud of where Colorado Blue is going!

​

How do I register my returning Colorado Blue Swimmer?

​

• Read our Parent Handbook and the accompanying quick read FAQ document. This will ensure you know which group you want to sign your swimmer up for! This should take 15-20 minutes

  • These documents include information about all fees, practices, practice groups, etc. The FAQ document is a quick reference guide for this information!

• Sign the Parent & Swimmer Responsibilities & Commitment Form.  This should take 5-10 minutes

  • This also includes information about swimmer t-shirt size!

• Go to Commit Swimming and register your swimmer for the correct group and select your payment option (monthly or one-time fee with discount). This should take 1-2 minutes.  

  • We will use this for ALL registrations and payments (e.g., meet fees) for Colorado Blue, moving forward. 

  • Please note that Commit does NOT have a very good mobile version, so you may want to use a desktop. 

    • If you already have a Commit login (i.e., you have a returning swimmer), please login to your account and look for your dashboard. You will see ‘24-’25 program registration at the bottom of the screen. 

    • If you do NOT have a Commit login, please use THIS link to register your swimmer. 

​

What about for new swimmers? 

• We will have Placement Days (try-outs) for NEW Swimmers from 7/22-7/31 and then again 8/12 - 8/23. If you know someone who wants to try-out Colorado Blue for the first time (or try-it-out again), please register for one of these try-out sessions here! 

• Try-out practices are the same time as regular practices. See our FAQ document for practice information!​
