Muskrats Swim Team
The team this summer will be a co-op team with Brookfield Parks and Recreation.

The Muskrats have been a long-running program in Brookfield, and now they are partnering with New Milford Parks and Recreation to provide this summer swim team opportunity. Any child, age 6 to 16, that is able to swim 25 yards is encouraged to join. Muskrats is a great first experience in competitive swimming and an opportunity for all children to enjoy the comradery of a team sport and improve their skills through frequent, small group interaction. Daily practices are designed to teach new skills, improve existing skills, and develop strength and endurance.

The season will begin on Monday, June 23rd and continue through the end of July. Daily practices are held Monday through Friday. (No practice Friday 7/4).  Practices on Monday to Wednesday will be held in Brookfield at the Brookfield Town Beach. Practices on Thursday & Fridays will be held in New Milford at Lynn Deming Park. Muskrats participants will not be required to have a vehicle pass to Lynn Deming in order to attend practices, but would need a vehicle pass to be in the park before or after practice.  

The team participates in four or five weekday meets each season, both home and away. Away meets are scheduled with other local teams in the Stateline Swim League and are no more than a 60-minute drive from New Milford. During the meets, swimmers are placed into events and compete against others of similar age and ability. At the end of the season, the team hosts a pot-luck picnic, to celebrate the team and recognize each swimmer.

This is a summer swim team with an emphasis on fun and we expect for swimmers to miss practices and/or meets to go on vacation and attend other activities. 

Practice times vary depending on age group and may change from times advertised below depending on enrollment. A swimmer’s age is as of July 1, 2025.  All swimmers receive a Muskrats team t-shirt and swim cap.
