Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

New swimmers must complete a tryout evaluation with our coaching staff. Contact us to schedule a tryout session. We'll assess your current ability level and place you in the appropriate training group. Tryouts are offered year-round.

What are the time commitments for each group?

Commitments vary by training group. Pre-Competitive athletes attend 4-6 sessions per week, Age Group athletes 6-10 sessions, and Senior Elite athletes 10-12 sessions including morning practices. All groups include both pool and dryland training.

What is the monthly cost?

Monthly fees vary by training group and range from $250-$550. This includes all pool sessions, dryland training, coaching, and facility access. Additional costs include meet entry fees, team suits, and travel for championship meets. Contact us for detailed pricing information.

Do you offer financial assistance?

Yes, we offer need-based financial assistance and scholarship opportunities for qualified families. We believe that financial circumstances should not prevent talented swimmers from accessing elite training. Contact us to discuss options.

Can my child balance competitive swimming with school?

Absolutely. Many of our athletes are honor students who excel both in the pool and classroom. We work with families to create schedules that balance academic commitments with training. Our coaches understand the importance of academic success and support athletes in managing both priorities.

What equipment do I need?

Athletes need basic swim equipment including goggles, caps, training suits, fins, paddles, kickboard, and pull buoy. Team suits are required for competitions. We provide detailed equipment lists upon registration and can help you find the right gear for your level.
