Try Outs

Swimming is a wonderful lifetime sport with many rewards. We would love to have new young people join our team! Our practices are held at the Stanwood Team Fitness and the Camano Island Country Club pools. We request that you schedule a tryout to ensure that your swimmer is placed in the proper skill group.

Tryouts are normally conducted by appointment Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 6:45 PM; Wednesday at 6:15 . This tryout can be waived if the swimmer has previously participated in another swim team program or has received a qualifying certificate from a swim lesson program demonstrating proficiency in all competitive strokes. 

For more information and to schedule a try-out select the contact tab above or contact Steve Jenkins at steelheadswimteam@gmail.com  or call 360-387-2721.
 

TRY OUT PROCEDURES:

1. The swimmer will demonstrate, to the best of their ability, four competitive strokes; (freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke).

2. The coach conducting the try-out will meet with parents and swimmer to discuss further skills development,  group options, schedules,fees, and answer questions 

3. Once your swimmer is assigned to a group, please visit our Membership Info for registration forms and additional information.
