Swim Assessment All swim assessments are personally conducted by the Program Director to determine the most appropriate placement for each swimmer in our Swim Lessons or Swim Team program. During the assessment, swimmers are evaluated based on their water safety skills, comfort in the water, stroke technique, endurance, and overall swimming ability. Swim Team candidates are also evaluated for legal stroke proficiency, endurance, and readiness for a competitive team environment. Our goal is to place every swimmer in the program and level where they can be safe, build confidence, and continue developing their skills. Please Note: Assessments are required for all new Swim Team participants and for swimmers requesting a level evaluation. Placement is based solely on demonstrated skills during the assessment. An assessment does not guarantee placement in a specific class or on the Swim Team. All placement decisions are final and are made with the swimmer's safety and success in mind.
