New swimmers start everyday with the Armada. We want your try-out and your first exposure to our team to be a fun and exciting experience, so relax and have fun.

The potential new team member will normally fit into one of three categories:

Completely New to Competitive Swimming (never swum competitively before but can swim 50 yards safely). Tryouts are held daily at 4:00 pm at the Splash Aquatic Center. Ask for Kathy or Jena. Please bring an appropriate suit (Speedo style, one piece for girls) and swim cap or rubber band for long hair. You may use goggles if you wish. Suits, caps and goggles can be purchased at the facility's pro shop on site; stay with the Speedo brand if in doubt.

Have swum competitively on summer swim team only. Tryouts are held daily at 4:00 pm at the Splash Aquatic Center. Ask for Kathy or Jena. After the tryout, depending on your level of proficiency, you will be directed to the appropriate practice group. Please bring an appropriate suit (Speedo style, one piece for girls) and swim cap or rubber band for long hair. You may use goggles if you wish. Suits, caps and goggles can be purchased at the facility's pro shop on site; stay with the Speedo brand if in doubt.

Have swum on a year around club team in the past. Call 626-806-1153 and arrange a tryout with coach Shipherd (13 and over) or Coach Garman (12 and under).
