Priority Sign-Up: Current swimmers can sign up for the next session a few days before new swimmers.
Payment Required: Your sign-up is not complete until you have paid in full for the session.
Try Outs & Registration
Team Requirements
Age: 5-18 years old
Skill Minimum: able to jump in deep water, swim a confident, continuous 25 yard freestyle and some backstroke.
It does not need to be pretty stroke, but it does need to be actual freestyle and backstroke, not just swimming to the other side!
These minimums are the rule of the pool we’ll be renting (to ensure we’re not competing with their in-house swim lesson program), so they are non-negotiable.
Try Out Information
Who does not need to try out?
Your swimmer does NOT need a try out (though you’re welcome to do one anyway!) if one of the following is true:
- You have the okay from a Sea Dragons coach to join
- Your swimmers have swam year round before
- Your swimmers have swam 2 or more summers with summer swim league
- Other options: the word of another swim instructor/coach and/or a video displaying the completed skills.
Put your email in the box below to get the Try Out Sign Up Form.
Registration & Session Sign Up
There are 2 steps to signing up:
- Registration (registers your swimmer/s for the team)
- Session Sign Up (chooses the session for the swimmer to join).
Once you have completed registration, Session Sign Up info will be sent to you via email.
There is a $30 registration/insurance fee per swimmer upon registering.
You can register at any time; however, the swimmers from the current session get priority on the slots for the next session. If there are not enough slots for you to join, your registration fee is refundable. Feel free to email [email protected] to ask about slots first if you’d like.
