Swim Team Tryouts
New Swimmers
We welcome swimmers of all abilities to our team. In order to ensure the safety of all our swimmers, we evaluate new swimmers before joining the team. This is to make sure that they are assigned to a level that fits them best. Some new swimmers require additional support so may be assigned to lessons or pre-team before joining the team.
Swim/Pre Team Tryouts - May 26, 2026
New Swimmers and Previous Pre-team Only
8 & Under - 6:30 - 7:15 pm
9 & Over - 7:15 - 8:00 pm
If your child has never participated on the MCT Swim Team, they need to try out. Your child will be asked to swim freestyle and backstroke for the length of the pool (25 m). Depending upon their performance, one of 3 things will occur:
- The swimmer will be placed onto the swim team. They may start practice the next day, or once the swim team registration process is completed.
- The swimmer will be placed onto the Pre-Team. They may register in one of the two time options offered. Pre-Team begins Friday, June 19th.
- The swimmer will be placed into lessons.** Those in lessons may register for one of two lessons groups. Coach Dave will give you more direction at the time of tryouts. A swimmer in lessons may be able to progress to Pre-Team, with a pro-rated Pre-Team registration completion needed. Pro-rated fees will be determined at the time of transfer.
Pre-Team is planning a mini-meet at the completion of the Swim Team season. However, the mini meet is contingent on number of participates and availability of mini meets. Further details will be forthcoming.
