Welcome to the Coeur d' Alene Area Swim Team (CAST) and USA Swimming! The Coeur d' Alene Area Swim Team boasts a 24-year history of competitive swimming excellence Cell # 1-208-699-4911 CAST is a year round competitive swim team that participates in local and regional swim meets hosted by USA Swimming. Swimmers compete against other swimmers in their age bracket in two year increments (8 and under, 9-10, 11-12, etc…). All meets are officiated by affiliated trained officials and all coaches are certified. USA Swimming is the national governing body for competitive swimming in the United States and CAST is proud member in good standing of this organization. CAST training occurs at all ability levels from beginning Pre-competitive swimmers thru collegiate swimmers and we believe we offer one of the finest training programs available in the Pacific Northwest. Our emphasis is on developing in our swimmers the very best swimming techniques possible and, as the technique develops, adding to it a strong conditioning base.   CAST's philosophy is to focus on proper stroke technique at all times for every stroke. Through proper stoke training swimmers have a superior foundation compared to other swimmers which allows them to compete in multiple events and at the highest levels of the sport.   CAST has been training swimmers in this region for over twenty years and has had dozens of our swimmers go on to successful collegiate careers. Our swimmers have competed at all levels of competition up to and including the Olympic Trials. We are a community based, non-profit, sports organization registered with USA Swimming. CAST is run and administered by a paid coaching staff and volunteer Executive Board.                    Dream Big

It Doesn't Pay to Dream Small

"We don't have a clue as to what people's limits are. All the tests, stopwatches, and finish lines in the world can't measure human potential. When someone is pursuing their dream, they'll go far beyond what seems to be their  limitations. The potential that exists within us is limitless and largely untapped...When you think of limits, you create them."
