Sharks Two-Week Trial
Welcome to the Sharks’ Two-Week Trial!
During this trial period, we encourage you to bring your child to as many practices as possible so they can get a real feel for the team. They will need a bathing suit, a towel, a pair of goggles, and a swim cap if their hair is long enough to reach their eyes.
If your child decides to join the team, they must be or become a YMCA member, and the membership must remain current through July 29, 2025. The $35 you paid for the two-week trial will be credited toward their team fee for the season. Please see Beth Raub, Aquatic Director, for this transition.
If you have any questions during this trial period, please contact Head Coach Megan Maslowski at the pool or by emailing her at [email protected].
