Tryout schedule
Tryouts start Monday, November 9, 2026, at Spring Hill.
- Swim: Monday–Thursday, November 9–12, 3:30–4:30 PM.
- Dive: Monday, November 9, and Tuesday, November 10, 4:30–5:45 PM with Coach Leigh-Anne. Divers should bring a list of dives they can legally perform and be ready to show Coach Leigh-Anne the dives they can confidently perform.
Tryout day and timing signup is open. Swimmers will select when they would like to attend and which events they would like to swim. Initial registration does not reserve a slot.
Swim attendance: One evaluation day is required. Swimmers may attend up to three total days for additional opportunities. Contact Coach Phil before tryouts if the signup cannot accommodate your requested days.
Diving: Divers should indicate whether they will attend Monday, Tuesday, or both. A third dive tryout day can be arranged during practice the following week. Divers who would like another opportunity should request it from Coach Leigh-Anne. Divers should bring a list of dives they can legally perform and be ready to show Coach Leigh-Anne the dives they can confidently perform.
What to expect at tryouts
Cuts will likely be necessary for swimming. Registering or attending tryouts does not guarantee a place on the team.
Swimmers will complete a timed 50 freestyle and one 100 choice during tryout week. Optional 50 choice and additional 100 choice events are time permitting only. Daily signup limits are 40 swimmers and 15 divers.
Before participating
A current VHSL physical must be on file and school athletic registration and eligibility clearance must be completed before participation. This team signup does not replace school registration.
Evaluation criteria
Coaches will explain selection criteria and expectations before tryouts begin. Evaluation considers timed swims, demonstrated skills, team event needs and roster capacity. Previous club, travel, select or AAU participation is not a selection requirement or advantage in itself. Cut standards will be available to athletes and parents upon request.
If illness or injury prevents attendance, contact the coaches about a later evaluation when healthy; three makeup days are not guaranteed. Other makeups are at coach discretion. If coaches request evaluation beyond three days, they will explain the criteria when notifying the athlete.
Roster selections
Coaches will make final roster decisions and inform swimmers and families about selections when more information is available.
Parents: join the email list for team updates.
Club times for tryout consideration
Swimmers may submit club meet times achieved on or after March 1, 2026, with proof showing their name, event, time, meet and date. All results require coach review. This does not replace tryout attendance.
