Swim Team Tryouts Thursday
Tryouts for the Warsaw Aquatic Club swim team will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Warsaw Community High School pool. Kids aged 5 and up are eligible.
Swimmers must demonstrate the ability to swim from one end of the pool to the other, a distance of 25 yards. Times will be recorded to measure the swimmer’s progress during the season. Swimmers attending tryouts and registering on the team site at the event will be entered into a drawing to win one of five $20 certificates that will be applied as credit to their account.
A copy of the swimmer’s birth certificate is required by USA Swimming for registration. There is a $60 registration discount for swimmers on free and reduced lunches. WAC will need to verify eligibility with a copy of a Hoosier Healthwise insurance card, WIC card, or a letter from the school corporation verifying eligibility.
