In many cases, it’s not because the swimmer was not qualified, but because we only had 23 spots that we were able to offer and ended up going with 26. Swimmers that were accepted into the group were previously notified.

To give you a better idea of the number of kids we were able to take between both tryouts days, we took 6x8 year olds, 10x7 year olds and 10x6U. All accepted 8’s very fully legal and proficient in all four strokes, a majority of the 7’s were also legal in all four strokes with only a few having minor and very fixable things in either breast or fly, and almost all of the 6U’s were legal in at least 3 strokes.

While we are requesting that accepted and returning swimmer register by 8/10, I can put together a waitlist for those interested if there is room. Please email me if that is the case. In some cases, there are swimmers that were invited but chose not to register. "

Rockville usually has another spring tryout around March. worth keeping an eye on it.

+1. Especially if you can get S&T coaching to fix any of your swimmer's deficiencies. If you focus on technique, getting faster will come naturally as your kid will be much more efficient. If you need a few meet event times, you might look into opportunities to compete unaffiliated or through a development team.

Has anyone ever gotten off an RMSC waitlist? My kid was waitlisted this year.

I've heard of a few kids dropping because of injuries in other sports, so it's possible. Depends on how far down the waitlist your kid is.
