The Racing Team

How to join

Enrolment in the Racing Team program is limited due to practice time and available pool space. To accommodate new athletes we have created registration categories for current athletes, past athletes, and new athletes. Click here to view the various registration categories.

Current athletes are guaranteed spots if they reregister within the designated period. Intake of new and past athletes is on a space available basis only.

Minimum requirements

Children joining the Racing Team must meet the following minimum requirements:

• Children must be at least 7 years old;

• Able to complete 50 yards each of freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke with reasonably good form;

• Able to dive into the pool from the side (they will have to do this several times during the evaluation session);

• NOTE: Regardless of how well a younger child may swim, new members must be at least 7 years old to join our Racing Team.

Athletes Must be Evaluated

The first step in joining the Racing Team is to have the athletes skills assessed. The evaluation process consists of the skill assessment listed above as well as a short workout of 400-700 yards. Athletes who meet the requirements will be given an initial group placement.

NOTE: Athletes are not offered spots on the team during the evaluation session. The offer takes place later, and depends on what registration category the athlete is in and the number of slots available.
