Choose Your Summer Class Session
Pick the week and level that fits your family below.
USA Swimming Membership
A current USA Swimming FLEX membership is required.
Team GroupMe
Optional but recommended.
Step 2: Coach Evaluation
If you're unsure which level was recommended, reply to your follow-up email or contact the registrar.
Step 3: Choose Your Summer Class Session
All current Pre-Comp class options are listed below in the Commit registration block. Pick the week and level that fits your family and follow the registration link.
⚠️ Check the location before you register! We run clinics at two different pools. Double-check the pool name on your chosen session before you finalize; it's easy to assume Camp Smith when the session is actually at Manana (or vice versa).
Pool locations
Camp Smith Pool
Afternoon sessions
Camp HM Smith, Halawa. Our home training pool, used for afternoon clinic weeks.
Step 4: USA Swimming Membership
Every swimmer in our clinic or team programs must have a current USA Swimming FLEX membership. It's a safety and insurance requirement.
- FLEX Athlete Membership: $30 annual fee (good for additional clinics and future team participation that same year).
- USA Swimming registration is separate from Commit registration. USA Swimming is our governing body and insurer.
When registering, choose: LSC: Hawaii Swimming (HI) · Club: Hickam Hurricanes (HICK) · Membership Type: FLEX Athlete
Step 5: Team GroupMe
Optional but recommended. The team uses GroupMe for fast family-to-family communication. Official communication still comes from the coaches via email, but our families share weather warnings, quick cancellation notices, and on-deck heads-ups in GroupMe. It's how you'll hear from another parent when practice ends ten minutes early because the rain came in.
Install the GroupMe app, then tap the invite link below.
Not Ready for a Hurricanes Clinic Yet?
If your swimmer is still building water comfort and basic strokes, here are two excellent island programs we send families to all the time. They're a great way to keep practicing, and we'd love to see you back at tryouts later.
Lē‘ahi Swim School
A favorite of many Hurricane families; our registrar's son currently attends Lē‘ahi while he prepares to join the team.
YMCA Honolulu Swim Lessons
Great structured lesson program for foundational strokes and stroke mechanics. The Y has been a stepping-stone for many of our team swimmers.
