• Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards unassisted.

To participate in Little Rays (pre-team):

• Swimmers must be comfortable in the water and potty-trained.
• Swimmers must be comfortable putting their head and face in the water.
• Swimmers must be able to hold their breath for 2-3 seconds under the water.
• Swimmers must be able to swim 3-5 yards independently (any stroke, including dog-paddle)
