Water Safety Evaluation

What is the Water Safety Evaluation?

  • The evaluation is used by our coaching staff to assess your swimmer's safety in the water and their ability to swim across the 25-yard pool with little to no assistance.


Does my swimmer need to complete a Water Safety Evaluation?

  • All new Sierra Sharks swimmers who did not participate in this year's Spring Swim Clinic are required to complete a Water Safety Evaluation. Even swimmers coming from another swim team, including a high school team, or returning Mini Shark swimmers, must complete a Water Safety Evaluation.


When are Water Safety Evaluations held?

  • Evaluations are held before we officially begin season practice. You can have your swimmer evaluated on April 9th, 12th & 20th. Stay tuned for times and as always, keep an eye on our calendar.


What happens after my swimmer's Water Safety Evaluation?

  • If your swimmer passes the Water Safety Evaluation, the coaching staff will inform you that your swimmer can officially join the team. If your swimmer does not pass the Water Safety Evaluation, you'll have two options: the team can refund your registration fees or you could consider having your swimmer join our Mini Sharks Program.
