LAC Tryouts

Thank you for your interest in Lakeside Aquatic Club! We look forward to meeting your swimmer.

LAC is a year-round competitive swim team. All swimmers must be evaluated by our coaching staff to determine the appropriate training group placement. We offer 15 group levels based on age and ability.

Tryout Requirements

To participate in tryouts, swimmers must be able to:

  • Swim 50 yards freestyle

  • Swim 25 yards of backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke

If your swimmer cannot yet complete these distances, please register for our Lesson Program, which prepares swimmers for our Pre-Competitive Stroke Team.

These are the only available tryout dates. We are unable to offer private tryouts.

Swimmers should arrive ready to swim (suit, goggles, cap if needed).

Parents may observe from the lobby or bleachers but may not be on deck.

Important Tryout Policies

  • Try out at your assigned location.
    Swimmers must attend the tryout for the location where they would train. New swimmers cannot request a location transfer for one year.

  • Arrive on time.
    Late arrivals cannot be accommodated.

  • Low-stress evaluation.
    Coaches will simply observe skills and basic drills. This is not a race or competitive event.

Notification Timeline

You will receive your swimmer’s status by email within two weeks. We do not provide individual feedback.

Possible results:

  1. Invitation to join and group assignment

  2. Waitlist placement

  3. No available group, with recommendations for other programs

Waitlist Information

Space is limited at each level. Waitlists are used only when we expect to onboard swimmers within the current season; we do not keep swimmers on waitlists indefinitely.

Waitlist movement depends on:

  • Lane space and facility schedules

  • Group attendance

  • Swimmers moving between levels

Because of these factors, we cannot estimate your swimmer’s position or timeline. We also do not offer private lessons for swimmers waiting for tryouts or in waitlist status.

Transfer Swimmers

If your swimmer is currently registered with USA Swimming and has a solid competition history, email [email protected] with:

  • Swimmer’s name

  • Age

  • USAS ID# and expiration

  • Current team

  • LAC location of interest

If Your Swimmer Is Not Proficient in All Four Strokes
