Join Our Club - Age Group Swimming

Viking Aquatics is a year-round competitive swim team, but you can join at any time. In order to join, your swimmer will have to complete a tryout with one of our coaches/admin. Tryouts are currently held by appointment only on most Tuesdays and Fridays during our practice time. All tryouts and practices are held at Long Beach City College.

To schedule a tryout, see admin email below.

When you arrive at the tryout, swimmers will need to bring:

1. Goggles and Swim Cap (for hair past ears and eyes)
2. A completed Viking Aquatics Tryout Form - print and bring with you (or emailed to [email protected] prior)

A tryout lasts anywhere from 15-20 minutes and swimmers are tested on their skill level of all 4 swim strokes. Swimmers must AT LEAST have knowledge in both backstroke and freestyle and be able to swim 25 yards of each (1 lap) unassisted. 

After the tryout, and your child is assigned to a group:

• You will register on the website: "Account & Member Registration" link on the main page to begin the online registration process.

• Annual USA Swimming and Team Registration- $114 - paid online [#see note below]

• First Month's Dues (see below for group fees)- after registration, membership dues will be applied manually to the card you've put on file by an admin member once a start date for your child has been chosen - all future billing autopay (credit/ACH) on the first of every month.

  • Child begins swimming 1st-15th - full fees due
