Tryouts are held at the beginning of our 1615 practice sessions during the school year. Once you complete the application we will be in touch with information about how to schedule your try-out. 

Tryouts are an approx.15 minute assessment of your child's swimming ability. This allows us to identify which swimming group is most appropriate for your child to join. At a MINIMUM your child must be able to swim 25m (any stroke) without stopping to be successful.
