Minimum Requirements for trying out with Dolphin AquaticsAlthough we would like to accept all children on the swim team, we must make sure that each child meets the group prerequisiteIf your swimmer cannot meet the minimum swim requirements, we will suggest that they enroll in a lesson program and then schedule a tryout when they have mastered the minimum swim requirements.  DA is a competitive swim team and not a substitute for a swim lesson program.

** It's helpful if swimmers wear a swim cap if their hair is past their ears.  Girls should wear a one-piece swimsuit and it's preferable if boys wear a speedo or jammer type suit for the try-out.  Again, not required for the try-out although they will be required if you join the team.  (For boys, board shorts are allowed for the try-out, however, they will not be allowed for team practices.)
