SPRING/SUMMER TRYOUTS
We will hold tryouts the first two weeks in March for swimmers new to the Hurricanes. Please fill out this form to be notified when specific dates are confirmed.
Contact Erika Pals at [email protected] with any questions.
We will post information regarding the Spring and Summer seasons as it becomes available. You will be able to find it by going to the "Spring/Summer Info" tab in the middle of our homepage.
Please consider the below criteria when signing up for tryouts:
- We are a swim team, and very different from swimming lessons in that our coaches are all on-deck and not in the water with swimmers. The entrance requirements are primarily here to ensure the safety of our swimmers, as well as a positive, challenging, and fun environment for everyone.
- All swimmers must be able to comfortably swim the full length (25 yards) of the pool without assistance of any kind, including stopping or touching wall/pool bottom.
- Swimmers must be able to swim with their face in the water and wear goggles.
- Swimmers will be asked to demonstrate a length of freestyle/crawl stroke on the stomach, with alternating single-arm strokes and face submerged between breath cycles to the side.
- Swimmers will be asked to demonstrate a length of backstroke on the back, with alternating single-arm strokes
- Depending on age/ability level, swimmers may also be asked to swim multiple lengths with a short amount of rest in between. They may also be asked to demonstrate butterfly and breastroke.
