Team Registration Swimmers are able to register early for the team they were on in the 2021 season if registering as a “returning swimmer.” Swimmers and families wishing to change teams will need to wait until open enrollments to sign up for a different team. New team members (including siblings of returning swimmers) must either pass a skill assessment or provide information of previous swim team experience, prior to the online registration. Spots are limited and go very quickly.
New Swimmer Evaluations The Sea Dragons have minimum qualifications to participate in the program. If this is your first time joining the team, you are required to come to an evaluation at the DCRC or obtain an accepted reference from your prior team coach. At the evaluations, the coach determines if each swimmer is ready for swim team or if they need more personal and fundamental attention through either swim lessons or the youth fitness swimming class. Swimmers are able to “re-evaluate” if needed. References from prior coaches may be communicated to Lynn Bowers at lynnbowers86@gmail.com. Register for an evaluation today through the Sea Dragon website at dublinseadragons.org. Evaluations are held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on March 9 & 10 and from 1-3 p.m. on March 13 at the DCRC. When signing up for an appointment please include: • Prior swim experience • USA Swimming ID# if you are coming from another USA Swimming club • Age of the swimmer • Gender of the swimmer This information is used to help place the swimmer properly upon evaluation. Completing an evaluation DOES NOT save your swimmer a spot in the Sea Dragons program.
