[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the tryout like? My kid is new and I’m curious—she’s elementary age and did summer swim team.[/quote] The tryout itself was low-maintenance: for the 9-10 age group, they were asked roughly for a lap of each stroke, a 50 free (presumably at least partially to see if there was a flip turn and if so how well it was executed), a 25 free timed sprint (one kid at a time in a lane of 4-5), and some work with a kickboard (flutter, breaststroke kick, flutter on back). That was it. My understanding from the parent meeting is that they were interested in stroke mechanics in this age group, but that wasn't all they were watching for. They were in the water for 30 minutes, and a major part of it was spent at the wall - which is actually a good thing, so that they had some space to evaluate each kid.[/quote]
