Swim Team Tryouts

Come and join our YMCA of Montclair Dolphins Swim Team.  Tryouts will be held August 1-3 for the 2023-2024 competitive season which runs year-round from September 11, 2023 – July 2024 for swimmers ages 9-17 in our Novice, Junior and Senior Groups.  The Mini-Dolphins and Flippers (8 & under) season begins September 11 and will end in February of 2024 with an option to enroll in the Spring Season from March to mid-June 2024.  Swimmers ages 5-8 should be able to swim a minimum of 25 yards (1 length of the pool) with a recognizable stroke.  Ages 9-12 should be able to swim a length of the pool freestyle and another length of backstroke and beginnings of the breaststroke and butterfly.  Swimmers ages 12 and older should be able to proficiently swim all competitive strokes with mid to high proficiency.  Swimmers who are not invited to join the team may improve their skills by joining our swim lessons and may tryout again in Spring 2024.
