All new swimmers are required to take a brief swim evaluation before they formally register to ensure their skills meet our minimum requirements and appropriately place them in practice. Swimmers may take a short break between each component but must complete the yards without stopping. Nothing needs to be perfect! We just want to make sure they can swim.

*Note that 25 yards is almost twice the length of Goldfish or Little Flipper pools*

• Swimmers age 6 and under must be able to swim 25 yards freestyle with rotary breathing and 25 yards backstroke  (one length each)
• Swimmers aged 7-8 must be able to swim 50 yards freestyle, 50 yards backstroke (2 lengths each), and have a working knowledge of breaststroke and butterfly (dolphin kick, breast kick, etc.)
• Swimmers aged 9-10 must be able to swim 50 yards freestyle (2 lengths), 50 yards backstroke (2 lengths), and 25 yards of both butterfly and breaststroke (1 length each).
• Swimmers 11 and older must be able to swim 100 yards of both freestyle and backstroke (4 lengths each), and 50 yards of both butterfly and breaststroke (2 lengths each).
