FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. Do I have to tryout? No. We hold swimmer evaluations to help us place swimmers into appropriate practice groups.
  2. What are the practice times? We hold practices Monday-Saturday at either PSC or UWF. Depending on your swimmer's training group will determine the exact practice time but typically middle-schoolers and below practice between 3:15-6:30/7:00 pm (ranging in 45 mins-2 hours lengths). High-schoolers have a couple of options with either morning practices before school or after-school practice (3:45-5:30pm)
