2022 Tryouts
2022 Season:
Tryouts: Pod Placements (NOT FOR NEW or 2nd Year Swimmers)
First goal will be to determine if swimmers are in the Maroon or Gold Group. We will start by using our team placement from last season. (This is subject to change)
If you were on Erin’s Sing Short Team or a New Swimmer last season you will start in the Gold Group
If you were on Erin’s Dog Short Team, Long Team or Extended Teams you will be in the Maroon Group
If you are brand new to us you will start in the Gold Group. Remember no experience necessary!! If you have prior synchro experience, let us know!
Tryouts will be different!! We will first use the above groups to get you into smaller groups for Covid Safety. Don’t worry, we have interactive Pod Activities planned!!
Tryout Expectations: (For returning swimmers, not including last years new swimmers)
There will NOT be any hybrids to learn before season
We will use the first week or two to determine routines based on:
Positivity!
Height in Eggbeater, Jumps, Sustained Verticals, Ballet Legs
Figures: Ballet Leg, Walkover Front, Heron and Kip
Hybrids learned at practice together
What can you do to prepare for the season?
Invite others to JOIN our team! Seriously! We need each other and community right now and this is a FOCUS for the season.
Move your body! If you can get in the pool to practice some of the things above… great! If not, don’t stress. Focus on stretching and moving
**Tryouts are for returning swimmers only.... NEW Swimmers Please IGNORE!**
