Open tryout sessions are held in July of each year for swimmers new to USA Swimming.  Swimmers 6 and older are assessed on an individual basis by our coaching staff. The coaches evaluate the swimmer’s stroke technique in all 4 strokes, how well the swimmer responds to direction, and how comfortable the swimmer is in the water.  After all tryout sessions are completed; the coaching staff reviews each swimmer's evaluations and places the swimmer in the applicable practice groups.  If there are openings in the practice group, the swimmer is offered a spot on the team.  If there are NO open spots in the practice group, the swimmer is placed on a waitlist.

Swimmers transferring from another USA Swim Club, please email our Coaching Staff and provide the information below.  Our Coaching Staff will review your times in the SWIMS database and contact you shortly.
