Stingray tryouts

Stingray Swim Club will hold tryouts for the 2014-2015 swimming year over the next two weeks.

The first session is Aug. 27, 4-5 p.m. at the Lion’s Pool. The second session is Sept. 3.

The following skills must be demonstrated proficiently in order to be considered for the team:

25 meter breaststroke with legal kick

Knowledge of streamline position

Basic knowledge of the dolphin kick

Invitation into the program is also contingent on available space at the appropriate level. Passing the swim test does not automatically mean the club will be able to accommodate the swimmer. The club will, however, find a program that suits his/her abilities at the pool.

There is no fee to try out and participants are asked to bring suits, caps and goggles to each session.
