Swim, Water Polo, and Dive Teams

Children ages 5-14 can join the Metro Aquatic League, a swimming, diving, and water polo league organized by the City of Albuquerque. However, children must be at least 8 years old to participate in diving and/or water polo.

Metro Swim, Dive, and Water Polo 2025

Participation involves practices Monday through Friday, with water polo scrimmages on Tuesdays and Thursdays, dive meets on Fridays, and swim meets on Saturdays.

Sign-up for swim team begins on May 3, 2025 at 12:00pm. Sign Up Here

The cost for the summer metro league is $55. If you have multiple children the first child is $55 and each additional child will cost $40. This price includes daily practice and swim meets on Saturdays (includes swimming, Water Polo, and Diving).

When registering your child for the metro league, you will be asked to agree to a Parent Code of Conduct . Each pool has a limit of 100 participants for swimming, 50 participants for water polo, and 10 participants for diving per team. Each participant must register for each sport (swimming, water polo, and diving) for the summer. If your child is only signed up for one sport, they can only participate in the practice for that sport. 

Example: I see that the Sierra Vista pool does not have any openings for swimming but does have openings for water polo and diving. If I sign up my child for just the Sierra Vista water polo and diving, then my child will not be able to participate in the swimming portion of the metro league.
