MEET WORKING REQUIREMENTS:

  • We anticipate USSC will be hosting 3-4 invitational meets this short course season.  We anticipate that families will be required to work the following number of jobs:
    • Senior Blue/Silver/White - 4 jobs
    • Age Group 1/Age Group 2 - 4 jobs
    • Intermediate & Junior Groups - 3 jobs
    •  The penalty for not working any single job is a $100 fine.
  • We will monitor how many families we have and try our best to reduce that work requirement as low as possible for all families.
  • Families of Novice ONLY swimmers do not have a job requirement.
  • Please note that if your family has multiple swimmers, you only need to do the work requirement for the highest level swimmer.

RACING REQUIREMENTS:

  • USSC is a competitive swim team, and as such we require our athletes to participate in a minimum number of swim meet sessions throughout the season.  Please refer to the USSC Racing Requirements document for further details.

EQUIPMENT:

  • Each practice group has specific equipment that must be purchased and brought to practice each day.  Please visit our website at www.uticashelbyswimclub.com under the Team Info drop down menu (Equipment) to see what your swimmer’s group requires.
  • Girls wear any Speedo, TYR or other racing style swim suit.  Boys wear jammer style swim suits.  They may choose any suit that they prefer for practice.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • The addition of new swimmers to our team is dependent on room in individual practice groups. 
  • All prospective new parent members will be asked to attend one of two New Member meetings following the tryout.  Families may register prior to the New Parent Meeting.  The Parent Meeting will address all of the paperwork given at tryouts and we will answer any questions you may have about the club.
