What to Expect
Please note that we are a competitive team. Our practices are designed to enhance abilities, not instruct swim. Swimmers who attend tryouts should, at minimum, show ability in freestyle and/or backstroke and be willing to work on breaststroke and butterfly. We wish we could accept all girls with a love for swimming, but offers depend on ability, the number of swimmers who try out, and the number of spots available per age group.
During tryouts:
Swimmers of all denominations are welcome to try out, but swimmers must live in the right geographic zone. Our zone includes neighborhoods surrounding Prospect Park and Downtown Brooklyn. We will confirm eligibility based on your address.
During tryouts:
- All swimmers must be able to swim one 25-yard length of freestyle without stopping.
- Entering the pool via a dive is preferable, but not required.
- Girls ages 11-14 will also be timed swimming a lap of freestyle (50-yards).
- Ability to flip turn is preferable.
- We would love to see swimmers show an additional stroke of their choice (optional for our younger swimmers, but encouraged).
