HOW EVALUATIONS WORK

You will either sign up for an evaluation appointment at the associated pool location or if you sent an e-mail, a Steel City Coach will contact you to coordinate the location, date, and time you can bring your child in for the evaluation.

 

WHAT TO BRING

Please make sure your child comes dressed in their suit of choice.  Your swimmer should also bring goggles if they have them, and a towel.  One of the coaches will evaluate your swimmer at the site and if they qualify for the swim team, you will be provided with the appropriate registration group.  You will then be able to complete your registration online and sign up for the appropriate swim group prior to the first swim team practice. 

 

*Mid-Season registrations will have the membership fees pro-rated as applicable.
