Try-Outs
• Rationale 1: Our goal, as a program, is to build the best team in the city and eventually the state. With this goal in mind, this program is not a “learn to swim” or “learn to dive” program. Try-outs are intended to determine if student-athletes are able to fulfill the minimum expectations for participation on the team.
