We hold mandatory try-outs for all new swimmers that didn t participate in any of our 2018 swim team programs or the short course season team. There are separate tryout forms for each age-group, with the available dates/times for that group listed on each form. ** We may ask some winter swimmers from the short course season to come in for a tryout, however, not charge you the $10.00 fee.

6 Answers to Frequently Asked Questions The age of our swimmers is 6-18 years old with different practice groups for age and ability levels. Tryouts begin at the end of July and end mid-august with multiple dates and times available. A list of swimmers who made the team will be posted on our website shortly after the last tryout. Our team participates in two different leagues: the Northern New Jersey YMCA Swim League, and NJ Swimming (USA Swimming). Our coaches are ASCA, USA Swimming, and YMCA certified and are accomplished and dedicated to the sport. Our season runs from early September to approximately early April (depending on age and what championship meets your child qualifies for). Practices are anywhere from 4-6 times a week, depending on practice group (older swimmers practice more). Most competitions are on the weekends. We require swimmers to maintain a minimum of 70% practice attendance, this includes dryland sessions. All swimmers must be members of the Sussex County YMCA. Parents are required to volunteer at a few meets as timers, etc. No experience necessary for most jobs.
