We have a tryout opportunity coming up for on Saturday, December 13, 6:00-7:30pm at the Redmond Pool

Current openings by age groups:

6-8 Years Old: 20

11-13 Years Old: 0

14+ Years Old (in High School): 10 

Only athletes registered for the tryout may attend

Read over the information below carefully-

Only Register your Swimmer for our Tryout if you Intend to Join the Team

We have limited tryouts slots. If you are not really interested in joining the team, please do not take one of our spots- that prevents other interested families from being able to tryout. 

No-shows at tryouts are not well received by our coaching staff. If you sign up but don’t attend, that takes an opportunity away from other interested families.

We do not have a Redmond only or Juanita only practice group, at any level. All of our practice groups use multiple pools for practice each week. You can see our current practice schedule HERE as an example.

We have the following openings within our practice groups as of the time of posting this information-

Black Group (6-8 years old) 20

White Group (9-10 years old) 3

Purple Group (11-13 year old) 0

High School (14+ years old) 10

You are also welcome to reach out to Coach Erin:

to ask questions and make an informed decision before registering your athlete for the tryout.

Ages 14 and Older (in high school)

Coach Kyle kylekallin@waveaquatics.org 

Tryout Notes

>Only athletes, coaches and lifeguards may be in the building. Family members must remain outside the building- this includes the lobby -during the tryout.

>Not everyone who tries out will be accepted onto the team. We are a competitive swim team with capacity limitations- note group openings above.

>The baseline for acceptance onto the team is comfort in the water from the coach’s perspective, able to comfortably swim a full 25 yards of freestyle and backstroke in deep water. This scales up by age.

>Kids who are active with outdoor play and other sports or athletic activities outside of swimming generally do better than kids who only know swimming

>Come prepared with suit, cap and goggles.

>No locker room access, athletes must arrive and leave in their swim suit.
