Today's Swimmers

Today's Swimmers!

Nice work at tryouts today! Thanks for braving the weather with us! For those of you who tried out today and made the team, you need to make sure you are registered online. This is not our responsibility as coaches to sign you up. So register your child for the group that the coaches told you they made it into. 

If you had already registered before tryouts, don't worry. However, if you need to switch your child to a different group then the one you originally signed up for, you will need to contact us so we can switch your child to the appropriate group.

Go to lindoncity.org or the following website to register: http://www.activityreg.com/selectactivity.wcs

If you have questions about today's tryout or registering, feel free to email me at lindonswimteam@gmail.com or give the pool a call.

Again, nice job! We are excited to work with each of you!

Coaches Kristi, Rachel, and Tate

Today's tryout still on

Bring warm clothes and towels!  The swim tryout is still on. The weather looks like it is going to hold for a bit, but if the weather gets bad we will postpone it. The pool is warm so that will be good! Swim on!
See you soon!

Tryouts on Saturday

As I'm sure many of you are aware, it looks like we may have scattered showers this Saturday. Hopefully we will still be able to have our tryouts! However, if the weather isn't cooperating, we will cut them short or postpone the tryout until next week. 

So as of now, swim team tryouts will still be held this Saturday 10-2pm. Drop ins. Come prepared!

*Check back here for updated information concerning Saturday's tryouts.

May 30th Make Up Tryouts

For those who can not come to the tryouts this Saturday, we will be holding a make up tryout on May 30th at 9am. Be aware however, spots on the team aren't guarenteed because we don't know how many will make the team on Saturday. We will do our best to accommodate everyone! 
Happy Swimming!

TRYOUTS


Hope you all are getting excited for tryouts coming up! 

By way of information, if you are unsure of what group to register your child for, wait until after tryouts. We will assess your child's skills during tryouts and assign them to a group accordingly. Then you can register once you know. 

For those returning swimmers wanting to move up a group, you will need to come and tryout as well to pass off your skills. 

If you know what group your child will be in, go ahead and register. 

Here are the basic requirements for each group. Assigning each child to a particular group is at the discretion of the coaches.

Beginning
25 yard freestyle 
25 yard backstroke 
Comfortable with face in water

Intermediate
50 yard freestyle
25 yard backstroke
25 yard breaststroke
25 yard butterfly
Able to do a turn

Advanced
100 yard: (50-butterfly and 50 back)
100 yard: (50 freestyle and 50 breast) 

*Possible changes to these requirements may be made.
