[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's that like and is it on the same day as the new swimmers? We haven't received any communication back from the coach.[/quote]

Why would existing swimmer need to tryout?[/quote]

Get into a higher group.[/quote]
I don’t think you try out for the higher groups. If you are already in RMSC the coaches evaluate throughout the season whether or not someone should move up a group. If you are a swimmer with another club looking to transfer to RMSC, they generally have you join a practice rather than go through the large summer tryout.  [/quote]

In the past, parents could bring their children to tryouts to aim for a higher placement, but in my experience, coaches have already decided who should move up. This year we were explicitly told not to attend tryouts.[/quote]
Yeah, if you’ve been with RMSC all year, it is highly unlikely that the one time tryout in the summer is going to make any difference. You either have the times and ability to make the higher group or you don’t, that tryout with the times of other kids trying to join the club isn’t going to provide anything of value to the coaches.

*with the tons of other kids, not times of other kids[/quote]
