Crafton Crocodiles is an B&R Swim Team.

Need Googles, Swim Caps or a Suit?

We have you covered.

Jen from B&R Pools is slated to be here on Friday June 7th, 2024 (weather permitted) and she will bring things with her. Your swimmer will be allowed to try on suits to ensure proper fit.

 In case of bad weather, she will be here June 14th, 2024 instead.

Team suits can be ordered that day, but are not required. There is a 10% off discount for items besides team suits.

If you already know what size you need, you can always use our Team Store as well. Below is a picture of our current suits. (We use each suit for two seasons so will be sticking with the same suit we had last year)

Pool Pass Information for the 2024 Season

To swim with the Crafton Crocodiles, there are two options. You MUST either have a pool pass (resident or non resident) OR if you are only at our pool to swim with the Crocodiles you will write us a check for $35 that we give to the Boro for your child to swim with us.  

If you live in Carnegie, Thornburg, Rosslyn Farms or Ingram and decide you would like a pool pass for the Crafton Pool there is a special discount provided for you. $15 off for Individual or $30 off a Family pass at the Non-resident rate. 

The Boro has also graciously provided the same discount to those swim team families that live outside of Crafton, Thornburg, Rosslyn Farms and Ingram. If you live in the City, Greentree, Robinson, Carnegie, etc and have a child that swims for the Crocodiles, you are also allowed to purchase a Crafton Pool pass (NON RESIDENT) at the Boro office. The same discount listed above will apply to you as well.
