TRYOUTS


Hope you all are getting excited for tryouts coming up! 

Tryouts will be held May 14th - 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.  These are drop ins, so come when you can. We will take swimmers in groups to assess their skills. 

If you can not make it to this tryout, we will be holding a make up tryout. Date is to be determined. 

By way of information, if you are unsure of what group to register your child for you have a few options. One, you can wait until after tryouts to register them. We will assess your child's skills at tryouts and assign them to a group accordingly. Two, you can register them now based on their skills (see the requirements below), and if needs be, after the tryouts we can adjust what group they will be assigned to.  

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)
Able to do flip-turn and open-turn

*Possible changes to these requirements may be made according to each swimmer

Best,

Coach Kristi

2016 Summer Swim Season

Calling all swimmers!

Time to break out the swim suits and get your cap and goggles ready because we are getting ready for our Summer 2016 Season! Can you believe it's already almost summertime?

I am so excited to come back and continue coaching this summer! We have a semi-new coaching staff and we are excited to work hard and play hard. We want to cultivate team spirit and self-discipline among our swimmers. Performing at your personal best is key so when it comes to that last lap in a race, anything saved is wasted.

I included important dates below. Mark your calendars. Please be aware that these dates may change due to weather or other technical difficulties - so check back for any updates! 

We look forward to working with each of you and help you reach your swimming potential!

Best,

Coach Kristi
