Spring 2022 Tryouts and Registration

 Welcome to the 2022 Spring Season!

Note: Registration is now closed.

Monday-Friday, May 2-June 10. NOTE: Pool will be closed the week of May 16-20 for cleaning/repairs. You will not be billed for this week.

MONDAY, MAY 2, 6PM or 7PM (see lane assignments): TRYOUTS for new swimmers. New swimmers MUST register by May 1 so we can plan adequately for coaches and lifeguards. No registration on the day of try-outs. Swimmers will check in then enter the pool at 6PM if they are trying out for the first time. New swimmers will be required to complete a short swim test (warm up, a few laps with and without kickboard, down 25 freestyle, back 25 backstroke) before joining the team. If for some reason your child is not ready for Sea Lions, you will not be charged.

MONDAY, MAY 2, 5:45-7PM: Check in/first day of practice for new and returning swimmers. Easiest way to register is by filling out online form below, then arrive on this day to check in. Also a great chance to meet some Board members and ask any questions you may have. Swimmers will enter the pool at either 6PM or 7PM, depending on which session they are in. You will be emailed to let you know which session you are in!

Spring session runs 6 weeks, but please note that the week of May 16-20 there will be NO PRACTICE due to pool maintenance that week.

This session will have two practice times for Developing and Intermediate swimmers, either 6PM or 7PM start time. Coaches will determine your swim level at registration. Preferred practice time can be chosen on the sign up form, below.

Sea Lions is a competitive swim team with a family friendly atmosphere. If you are interested in swim lessons, please visit the city pool programs website HERE.
