JOINING IST
Families looking to join Issaquah Swim Team may go through different routes depending on their background or experience.
NEW SWIMMERS
Individuals coming from Learn-to-Swim, private lessons, seasonal recreation teams (ex. summer leage), or high school teams interested in joining IST must complete a tryout. Please note:
- IST is a competitive swim team; athletes should know all four stroke disciplines prior to requesting a tryout
- Athletes age 8 and younger should be able to complete 250 yards of kicking and swimming
- Athletes ages 9 and over should be able to complete 350 yards of kicking and swimming
During the competitive season, IST conducts tryouts on a rolling basis for openings in our program with the goal of holding sessions once per month (typically on a weekend).
Request a tryout session using the form below, or follow this link to open a new page.
Please note that families will be contacted once scheduling for tryout sessions begins.
CURRENT OR RETURNING USA SWIMMING MEMBERS
Athletes looking to transfer to our program from another USA Swimming team may contact the Head Coach, Coach Tim, directly at [email protected].
Please include your swimmer's name, date of birth, and a best times report. Depending on competitive level and experience, the swimmer may be offered the chance to visit a practice for evaluation and placement.
