Frequently Asked Questions

Junior Swim Team FAQs

Is an Evaluation Required?

Evaluations are encouraged but not strictly required.

An evaluation will help determine if a swimmer is ready for the recreational team or needs more foundational training, and is useful to gauge skill level and group placement.

You can schedule an evaluation here.

If your athlete is legal in three strokes, including freestyle and backstroke, and able to provide legal proof of time from the NVSL, USAS, or equivalent organization then you are welcome to skip the evaluation process and directly register your athlete with the appropriate age group.
