Summer swimteam tryouts are next weekend at the Maplewood Community Pool. Don't be nervous if you aren't sure you can meet the requirements; you'll get better quickly. Give it a try, you'll probably be In Like Fin (is that a fish joke?). The Maplewood Makos want YOU!!!
SATURDAY, JUNE 10th
8& UNDER -- 11:00 AM to noon
Swim a total of 50 yards (that is just two widths of the pool, you can do that) using any two of the following strokes: Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke or Butterfly
9 & 10 years -- noon to 1:00 PM
Dive in and swim a total of 75 yards (just three widths of the pool) using any three of the strokes listed above.
SUNDAY, JUNE 11th
11 & 12 years -- noon to 1:00 PM
Dive in and swim 100 yards (a total of four widths of the pool) using each of the four strokes in any order.
13 & Up -- 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM
Dive in and swim 100 yards (a total of four widths of the pool) using each of the four strokes in any order.
Practices are on weekday mornings, swim meets are generally on weekday evenings. The coaches are cool, and so is the water in June |

As posted on the other thread on this topic ...
I don't think that this schedule is correct, for Saturday at least.
There is a Girl Scout pool party at the pool starting at Noon and usually (in past years at least) the swim team tryouts have started much earlier (9AM?) and ended at least an hour before the party started.
Hopefully someone with "official" knowledge can confirm or correct the tryout information. (I know that the Girl Scout info is correct but I don't know about the swim team.) |

Perhaps the Rec. Department is trying to encourage the Girl Scouts to join the swim team? |

Or at least not be so territorial. |

Yesterday the kiddo's backpack contained a flyer from the Rec. Department announcing swim team tryouts. The times posted above are correct.
The kids do really seem to have a great time with it. |

It's not a matter of being territorial ... it's just going to be chaotic for everyone, but so be it. It will all happen and I guess the coaches can decide later whether it was a good idea or not.
And plenty of Girl Scouts do join the swim team and will no doubt try out tomorrow.
