Our practices take place at the Friends Select School located at 16th and Race Streets in Philadelphia, except for weekend practices during the summer months, when practice is held at Kelly Pool in Fairmount Park!

To sign up for a lane, swimmers must be current members of the Philadelphia Fins Aquatics Club or be doing a free trial week.  Non-member guest drop-ins are also welcome.  The Club Assistant links for new membership, membership re-registration, a free trial week, or guest drop-in can be found on the "Swim with Us" page of our website at philadelphiafins.org.
