Millcreek Swim Team (MIST)

MIST is a premier USA Swimming club located in Millcreek Township in Erie, PA.

Founded in 1985, we pride ourselves on offering top-notch coaching, state-of-the-art equipment, and smart training methods, all while ensuring a fun and enjoyable experience for our swimmers.

As a year-round competitive swim team, MIST is dedicated to developing swimmers’ technique in all four competitive strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.

Our goal is to help athletes of all ages improve their speed, endurance, and overall performance in a supportive, team-oriented environment. From beginners to elite swimmers, MIST offers a progression of training groups designed to challenge and grow with each athlete.

Note: MIST does not offer swim lessons. This is a competitive swim team.
