SEALS SWIM TEAM

Swim Team Eligibility & Groups

Seals (Swim Team)

  • To join the Seals, swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards (one full pool length) unassisted.

  • This skill will be verified during tryouts.

Pups (Swim Lessons)

  • Pups is a lesson-based program for children who do not yet meet the Seal requirements.

  • These are group lessons, so participants must be able to:

    • Follow instructions in a group setting.

    • Take turns with other swimmers.

In-Betweeners

  • At the coach’s discretion, a child who is very close to qualifying as a Seal may be placed in the In-Betweeners group.

  • In-Betweeners practice at the same time as Seals, but they train in the outdoor pool at the YMCA.
