Try Outs
There are two main try outs each year. One is at the beginning of
September and the other is at the start of summer. Keep an eye on
our announcements for times and dates of these tryouts.
Try outs can also be arranged by
appointment. Typically a try out is held 15-minutes before the
start of the novice practice. Check the latest
practice schedule for times and then contact us to arrange a day.
Required Skills
Most kids who successfully try out have completed level IV swim
lessons at Hamme Pool (though several level III swimmers have made
the team.) Swimmers are required to swim one lap of freestyle and
one lap of backstroke. It is essential that swimmers know how to
rotary breath (side breathing) to make the team. We encourage
swimmers who don’t have the necessary skills to return to
lessons and try out at a later date.
Membership and Dues
A registration packet needs to be completed and turned in before a
swimmers first practice. (You will need Acrobat Reader)
Return the following to the Registrar or to the coach:
The Registrar folder is in the
file box at the base of the stairs leading up to the bleachers at
Hamme Pool to the left of the MSST bulletin board next to the
girl’s locker room. I am at the pool almost daily if you have
any questions the coaches can point me out. My phone number/e-mail
is on the back of this form.
Registration is not complete unless all forms and fees are
completed!
All forms also available on
our forms page.
