The Newington Forest Neptunes

The Newington Forest Swim Team (NFST INC) is a non-profit 501-(c)3 community based athletic organization. NFST INC is a member of the Northern Virginia Swim League (NVSL), the largest summer swim league in the United States.

The team comprises strictly of homeowners and renters of the Newington Forest Community Association. The program is broken into two parts.

  • The first is the Neptunes swim team consisting of youth from ages six to eighteen. They compete in the NVSL A league swim meets and league division events. The team also participates in the Springfield-Burke developmental league against surrounding pools not in our current swim division. In the span of seven weeks, the team can compete in thirteen competitive events, not including All-Stars.
  • The second part of the team is our Mini-Neptune program. The Mini-Neptunes are children at least four years of age until seven years of age. This program is our developmental program that teaches youngsters how to swim through close adult coaching and teen swimming mentors to assist. The goal is to graduate the Mini swimmer to the competition team.

The Neptunes swim team promotes sportsmanship and a positive team environment. Our philosophy is to teach our youth respect for each other, other competitors, and their parents. We measure our success in different ways; the team win-loss, individual standings amongst the other swimmers of that age group in our division, and swimming improvement.

AmazonSmile.org

We have generated a new way to easily donate to the swim team and all you have to do is shop Amazon.com.

The Newington Forest Swim Team (NFST INC) is a non-profit organization registered with the IRS. This allows us to now register for an Amazon Smile account. What that means is for every purchase made on Amazon.com, if you select NFST INC as your charitable organization, Amazon will donate 0.5% directly into our bank account. It isn't a lot, but share our Smile account with friends and family to use, especially during the holiday season, and we can gain a few extra dollars we wouldn't have.

NFST INC - Amazon Smile!!
