Frequently asked questions
Q: Do I have to try out for the Girl’s Swim and Dive Team?
A: No. It is a no-cut sport. We usually have about 70-90 girls on the team.
Q: How much swim experience is needed?
A: We have an A team, for more advanced swimmers, and a B team, for newer swimmers. They practice separately but are still ONE team! Experience in middle school, summer league or a club team can help you to move up from B Team to the A Team.
Q: Do I have to be a year round swimmer?
A: No, but many girls on the team do swim on club teams in the off-season. There are many swim clubs in the area, feel free to ask any of the experienced swimmers what club they swim for off-season.

A: The first day of practice is usually the 2nd Monday in August and runs through early November. Swimmers and divers that qualify for the State meet continue through late November.

Early-Mid October when we enter Championship Season, there is a switch in groups. Girls are split into Conference and Non-Conference teams, instead of A and B teams .
Non-Conference group participates in the Northville Invitational meet. That is most likely the last meet of the season for these swimmers. Conference swimmers will continue swimming when they meet qualifying times for County, MISCA, Conference and State and there is room on the roster.
