During our Racers Swim Team tryouts swimmers will be timed and evaluated based on their times and ability to swim all four competitive strokes of Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly. Swimmers will participate in a short warmup to test their stamina before being organized into lanes and race heats for their tryout. Swimmers are to remain in their line and heat until all four strokes have been swam. Distances will be set based on swimmer age as per YMCA Competitive Swimming rules. All swimmers are to arrive 5 minutes before the start of the tryout for check-in and must be registered in order to participate. Distances will be set based on swimmer age as per YMCA Competitive Swimming rules – 8yrs and under will swim 25 yards (1 lap); 9-12yrs will swim 50 yards (2 laps); 15yrs and older will swim 100 yards (4 laps).
