| Vashon's Swim Team, The Seals, hold placement tryouts so that the coaches can assess a swimmer's skills and place him/her in the appropriate training group.
As our Fall facility limits the amount of swimmers we can enroll, our entry level skill requirements have changed for the 2009/10 season:
Swimmers must be at least 7 yrs of age and be able to:
- Listen and follow directions without being disruptive
- Swim 50 yds Freestyle without stopping
- Swim 50 yds Backstroke without stopping
- Swim 25 yds Breaststroke
- Swim 25 yds Dolphin Kick / Butterfly
- Push off the wall and glide in a streamline position
Please come prepared to swim: Cap, good fitting goggles, swimsuit and towel. All swimmers who wish to be assessed need to be there at least 20 minutes before to get changed and ready to swim.
New swimmers and swimmers who have missed a session must tryout before registering with the Park District.

Try-outs do not guarantee a place in the team. When each level is full, applicants will be placed on a waiting list at the Park District.
