The Wyandotte Wildcats Swim Team is not a swim lesson program—our goal is to foster a competitive swim environment and develop a love for the sport.
As our team continues to grow, we will conduct evaluations to ensure all swimmers are ready for team participation.
Who needs an evaluation?
- New swimmers who have not previously competed on another swim team or club must complete an evaluation.
- Returning Wildcats DO NOT need an evaluation.
To join the Wyandotte Wildcats, swimmers must demonstrate a basic freestyle stroke and strong water safety skills. Coaches will evaluate based on the following:
- Swimmers must be able to swim one length of the pool (freestyle) unassisted.
- No pulling on the lane line, wall, or pushing off the bottom.
- A brief rest on the wall is acceptable, but swimmers must show confidence moving independently across the pool.
- Swimmers may be asked to demonstrate knowledge of the four strokes.
- After the assessment, a coach will inform your swimmer which practice group to attend or if a learn to swim program is more appropriate. Coaches have full discretion in determining readiness
These evaluations ensure that all Wildcat swimmers are safe, confident, and ready to thrive in a competitive team environment.
