Tryouts

The tryout is an evaluation process that generally involves a one-on-one interaction between a coach and your swimmer to ensure proper group placement. Generally, if your swimmer can swim across the pool without stopping, there is a place for them within our system. Swimmers must bring swim suit and goggles. To schedule a tryout, please contact Scott Pake​.
