Parents,

Tryouts will be held Thursday at the Lake Jackson Recreation Center. Please sign in at the front desk and let them know you are there for swim team tryouts.

• When: Thursday, September 17th, from 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM (until complete)
• Where: Lake Jackson Recreation Center

• Towel
• Goggles
• Swimsuit
• Electronic copy (or photo) of your swimmer's birth certificate

• Please watch our LJST Tryout Expectations video: https://youtu.be/y8Ad9QIssog?si=e--one6yZXPFlTOG
• Swimmers must be comfortable in the lap pool, including the deep end.

• 10 & Under: Must swim 25 yards of freestyle (head in the water, breathing to the side) and 25 yards of backstroke without flipping over.
• 11 & Older: Must swim 50 yards of freestyle (head in the water, breathing to the side) and 50 yards of backstroke without flipping over.

Note: Safety is our top priority, and not all swimmers will pass. Swimmers who cannot perform the required strokes safely present a hazard to themselves and others in their lane. Please do not be discouraged if your swimmer does not pass, competitive swimming is a challenging skill, but one that can become a lifelong passion. The Rec Center offers low-cost swim lessons which can help swimmers prepare for next season (summer tryouts are held in April).

Good Luck,

Gabriel Moreno
