2025 Competitive Year-Round Team Tryouts

Michelle Heusel

Swim Families: With the Summer season starting to wind down, we wanted to take a second and mention our year-round competitive swim team! For those of you with swimmers interested in continuing swimming in a competitive team setting, we will be hosting try-outs starting August 4th this year. Try-outs are done by appointment only on Monday's, Tuesday's, and Wednesday's on the days listed below.  Kids ages 6-14 years old are welcome to try out. If they are turning 6 in the early Fall, they are welcome to try-out, as well. All swimmers interested in trying out for our year-round team are required to know how to swim a full lap of freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. Knowledge of butterfly is strongly recommended. Swimmers must have recreational swim team experience (i.e. our summer swim league or something comparable) in order to try-out for our year round competitive swim team.

 How do try-outs work? Based on your swimmers age, we place them into one of our intermediate level groups for a trial practice. All new year round competitive swimmers start in either Stars & Stripes (6-8 years old), Red (9-10 years old), or White Group (11-14 years old). Their try-out will involve attending and participating in the assigned groups practice. This will allow them to get a sense of the groups practice before you chose to register. It will also allow our coaches to assess your child's abilities to ensure that the group is a good fit for them.

If you are interested, please use the links below to sign up for your preferred date. Please be sure to pick the slot that corresponds with your child's age. The trial practice times will be listed on the sign up links below. If you have any questions before you register, please email us at [email protected].

For a brief description and price breakdown of each age-group here at Patriot Aquatics, please visit our website at www.patriotaquatics.com. Our team info can be found under Year Round Programs => Swim Team at Lake Brantley. If your swimmer decides to move forward joining the team after the try-out process,  you will also receive a welcome email with registration directions and additional information following their try-out. New swimmers can begin training with the year-round team IMMEDIATELY following the welcome email and completion of registration. The first month of dues will be prorated based on when registration is completed for the month of August/September. W e will host parent orientation meetings in early September which will review in detail all the new swim family/year round team information.
