Swimmers must swim 100 yards freestyle and 50 yards each of butterfly, breaststroke and backstroke at tryouts - starting off the blocks and flip turns are required for Varsity level swimmers.
Athletes will be expected to attend meets and practices outside of regular school hours, in addition to the pre-season training. Full commitment is expected from those who make the team.
Swimming is both an individual and team sport. The swimmers compete and are scored as a team, but swimmers are still afforded the opportunity to focus on achieving their own personal best times and goals, as developed by their coaches.
