Thank you for your interest in joining PRO Swim Team.

Below you will find the information you need to REGISTER for a tryout time.   

  1. Register for a tryout time by clicking the link here: Tryout Registration
  • Please note that not all swimmers will be ready to join the team.  The tryout process is still a great learning experience.

Who should try out to join our team?

  1. Age: 6 years of age or older
  2. See below for Pre-Comp exit skill requirements. These are the minimum skills required to be eligible to attend tryouts. 

Information and what to expect at tryout process:

 

As a coaching team, we are looking for individual swimmers who are able to listen to a coach’s instructions to perform drills/advanced technique/side kick.  We want to determine how swimmers respond to feedback and swimming in a group. 

 

All groups will be asked to demonstrate the 4 strokes to the best of their ability, swim team starts, and other age appropriate drills/skills.  Distance will be determined based on age as we are focused more on technical skills (less on distance) during the tryout process.

 

Logistics:

  • The tryouts will run for each group divided by age group (select the appropriate age group when selecting your tryout slot)
  • Pre-register for a tryout slot (ages 6-12) at the link above – Mon/Tues/Wed June 24, 25, 26
    • approximately 45 minutes
  • Pre-register for a tryout slot (ages 13& O) at the link above – Thursday June 27
    • Approximately 1 hour
  • Come to your tryout time ready to START swimming at the designated start time.
  • There will be a quick parent informational session with next steps required (5 minutes)

 

AFTER the tryout:

  1. After ALL tryouts have been completed for the week, you will receive an email to let you know one of the below:
    1. Your swimmer IS NOT quite ready for the team.
    2. Your swimmer has been placed in their appropriate level group. This will include schedules, cost, paperwork, etc.
      1. Even if your swimmer is ready for the team, we will need to confirm we have a training space available in the appropriate group. (We may not have space for all swimmers, and your child may be placed on a waitlist.)

 

Team placements:

All team placements will be made on training space availability. Please set expectations with your swimmer that there is no guarantee that they will be added to the team, even if they are ready. 

  1. There will likely be more swimmers than spaces available.
    1. We maintain a swimmer to coach ratio and swimmer to lane space ratio that limits the number of swimmers that can be added to each particular training group.
    2. We have approximately 80% of our team members continue from one season to the next. This limits space available for new team members.
    3. Once tryouts are completed, we take the information and send invitiations to those eligible to register for the team. You may not revieve this email for up to several weeks.  Once invites are sent, you will have approximately a 2 week window to decide and register to join. 
  2. This entire process of adding all of our new swimmers to their training groups may take until the end of July.  

 

 Thank you and we look forward to seeing your families/swimmers!
