Northern Lights Swim Association Marlins Swimming - Team Registration (gomotionapp.com)
Our 2-Week Trial option is available to new NLSA Marlins swimmers. Your swimmer gets to come check out NLSA Marlins and “try” swimming with our swim team.
Please contact Swimming Registration at [email protected] with questions or to indicate when you plan to start the trial period.
This option is available for $50. If you decide to join our team and register for the remaining season, your $50 will be credited towards your registration.
When to Start and How Often to Come:
Once we receive your registration, our Swimming Registration Director will reach out with the current practice schedule.The schedule can change slightly week to week, but generally the practice schedule times can be seen here.
We prefer a 2 Week Trial to start on a Monday, but can offer flexibility.
*We offer the 2 Week Trial all season long with some exceptions - it is not offered between March 5-April 15 or July 5-Sept 15. We'll work together to find the best start date for you!
The number of practices each week during your 2 Week Trial will correspond to the anticipated registration group for your swimmer. Read more here about the registration group options which are based on age and experience.
What to Expect:
Your swimmer will get to join the Marlins practice, chat with other Marlins parents, and meet the coaches. They will get placed with other swimmers of their age and/or ability.
Bring a suit, goggles and towel. A swim cap is also helpful, but not necessary.
Practice equipment available for use:
- Kickboards
- Fins
- Pull Buoys
- Snorkels
- Swim Paddles
Our coaches can help swimmers out with any equipment questions
Some swimmers prefer to have their own equipment
Here are a few helpful places to find suits and swim team equipment:
What's the difference between a 2 Week Trial and the Intro to Competitive Swim Sessions?
The Intro to Swim sessions are great for swimmers who don't have any knowledge of competitive swimming yet. The 2-Week Trial is a good fit for those who have some knowledge of competitive swimming and/or are transferring from another swim club. If you're not sure which option to choose, contact Swimming Registration at [email protected] and we'll do our best to help!
