| How do I tryout for the team? We encourage each child and parent to observe one of our regular team practices, which are held Monday through Friday starting at 5 p.m. Interested swimmers ages 6 through 18 must be able to swim two of the four competitive strokes across the pool (25 yards) and will be evaluated by our coaches. To schedule a tryout, fill out the Rainbow Aquatics Inquiry Form (click link). Do I need to complete any forms before the tryout? No, forms are not necessary prior to tryouts. Upon assessment and placement by a coach, your registration forms must be completed. Once I decide to join, what steps do I need to take? When a spot opens up, the team Registrar will contact you with instructions on how to submit required forms and fees. What if I am transfering from another team? In addition to completing the forms provided by the BOWS Regsistration, you will also need to complete the Hawaiian Swimming Transfer Form (click link) and pay the transfer fee indicated on the form. Submit these to the BOWS Registrar. What is the practice schedule? How often should my child attend practice? Practice schedules vary by month and swim group depending on pool availability. For detailed descriptions of each swim group, select "Swim Groups" in the top navigation.
