The Kingsport Aquatic Center has their own junior summer league swim team – the Junior Viperfish Summer League!
Practices are fun, and swim meets are optional. Most meets will be held right here in your home pool! Before the season begins, we will host parent meetings for more information. Bring your swimmers, as we will have a swim assessment for them, too.
There are no tryouts—the team welcomes all swimmers ages 6 and up of any ability.
No competitive experience is required for joining the Jr. Viperfish team. The East Tennessee Summer Swim League program is designed to be an introduction for swimmers to the competitive swimming realm, in a fun atmosphere. It is not designed to teach kids to swim, but improve their basic swimming skills. Swim lessons are available throughout the year at the KAC to build foundation swimming skills.
The cost is $125 per swimmer for Kingsport Aquatic Center, $150 per swimmer for YMCA members and $175 per swimmer for nonmembers. There is a discount for siblings wanting to join.

Parents/guardians are required to stay on site and walk their child into practice. This is important because in an emergency the coaches need to be able to locate parents/guardians right away. The coaches may need to talk with parents/guardians so please ensure you are always at practice and onsite with your child.
