Swim team try-outs?

Question

im going to high school next year, what do i need to know? Dont say strokes for example, be specific. I used to swim but i never done anything school related with swimming. My best stroke/fastest is the backstroke........ 0.0 and how do they try you out in swim team?

Answer 1

in my swim team; you had to either run 1.5 mile or swim a 500 meters and then do 40 curl ups in a minute- flex arm hang for 15 seconds and 5 footlong jump forward-

but its prob not the same in your schoolll.

Answer 2

learning how to swim would be one thing lol, i wasn't on my high school swim team, but pretty much my friends told me only the ood ones can start in Varisty, while everyone else gets placed in JV

Answer 3

for most teams they have you swim all of the 4 strokes  and take your times. for example they might have you do  50 FREE 100 FREE 50 FLY 50 BACK AND 50 BREAST. you don't have to be good at every one but as long as you don't let the person next to you beat you, you're ok

Answer 4

Relax first off

Go to tryouts and do your best

Generaly swim teams need people since you are a freshman they will see that you can improve so just go with it

Have a good un

Answer 6

Try practicing in the water some so that you will be good for tryouts. I dont' know what they will do for tryouts since our school doesn't have tryouts for the swim team. Our team is so small that we welcome anyone to the team as long as they can make it 50 yards.

I'd guess they'll probably have you swim each stroke for a certain number of laps, and have you do other swimming related skills such as diving, and turns.
