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.
