REQUEST A TRYOUT
Interested in joining the Vancouver Super Sharks?
While you can apply to join at any time, our biggest intake is in the fall. Please ensure your swimmer meets all the requirements listed on this page before filling out the tryout form.
Tryouts will be scheduled based on availability.
SWIMMER REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE requesting a tryout, please ensure your swimmer meets all the requirements below:
✓ Ability to continuously swim unassisted for a minimum of 25m on the front
✓ Good comfort level around water
✓ Good knowledge of water safety
✓ Completion of SwimKids 5 (or equivalent) at minimum
*Swim practices are 60 min. Focus and effort are expected during this period.
TRYOUT DETAILS
Assessments or swim club tryouts will be scheduled based on availability.
Our Head Coach or Assistant Head Coach run the assessments and decide whether there is a spot available to suit the incoming swimmer. They will evaluate swimming ability, swim lesson level (i.e. SwimKids), and for older swimmers, any prior swim team experience.
After the assessment, the coach will determine which group would be the best fit for the swimmer: junior or senior. Group assignment is loosely based on age and more upon ability. See Group details on our Practices page. Within the junior and senior groups are smaller subgroups to allow swimmers to grow and develop with peers.
