Interested in Competitive Swimming?

Tryouts for the West Morris YMCA Sharks Swim Team will be held at the County College of Morris in early September. This competitive team, with members from 6 to 18 years, swims in both YMCA and New Jersey Swimming meets. Swimmers will be evaluated for both stroke performance and speed.

Swimmers are grouped by age for tryouts, determined as of December 1, 2011. For swimmers 13 and Over, tryouts are on Tuesday, September 6. Those who are 9 to 12 years should attend on Wednesday, September 7. Thursday, September 8 is for those who are 8 and Under.
Additionally 13 and over swimmers meeting initial performance criteria will continue tryouts by swimming with a Senior practice group on September 7 to 9 before acceptance to the team. Registration for tryouts will be on the tryout day from 6 to 6:20 PM in the pool lobby at CCM (lower level of the athletic building). Tryouts in the pool begin at 6:30. Bring your suit, goggles, towel, and a $15 tryout fee.
