Parliament Panthers

Thank you, New Leaf Design, for creating the Panthers' 60th Anniversary Logo!

The Parliament Panthers Swim & Dive Team competes in the Northern Virginia Swim League (NVSL). The NVSL was founded in 1956 to sponsor competitive swimming and diving events in and among community swimming pools of Northern Virginia, and to help the children who participate develop "a love of the sport, advanced aquatic skills, teamwork, and the principles of good sportsmanship". 

Registration Opens April 1, 2026!

The Parliament Panthers will be competing in NVSL Swim Division 12 and NVSL Dive Division 2 for their 60th Anniversary Season! Go Panthers!

We are excited for you to join the Parliament Panthers! All levels of swimmers and divers are encouraged to join. The Swim Team participates in both competitive "A" Meets on Saturday mornings and developmental "B" Meets on Monday evenings. The Dive Team participates in competitive "A" Meets on Tuesday evenings and may have one or two developmental "B" Meets during the season.

Whether you are a beginning swimmer/diver or a Junior Olympian, we would be thrilled to have you on the team! Want to swim and dive? Athletes can participate in both sports! Our goal is for each swimmer and diver to improve their skills, develop relationships with neighbors and teammates, and most importantly... have fun!

In order to join the Parliament Panthers Swim Team, you must be between 4 and 18 years old and be a member of Parliament Pool. To join Parliament Pool, visit the pool website. Members of the Parliament Panthers Dive Team must also be Parliament Pool members with one exception. If you are a member of another NVSL pool that does not offer a dive team, you can join the Parliament Panthers Dive Team without joining Parliament Pool. Please contact us for more information.

NOTE: The last day of school for FCPS is Wednesday, June 17, but the first day of morning practice is FRIDAY, JUNE 19. We will still have afternoon practice on Thursday, June 18.

We are very excited for the 3rd year of our Junior Panther practice group! Please visit the Mini & Junior Panther page for complete information.
