Before being allowed to participate or practice with the swim team, perspective swim team members will be tested. They must be able to swim one length of the pool, using the proper front crawl technique. They must correctly alternate their arms, keep their face in water, and turn head to just on side to breathe. They cannot stop or touch the bottom at all during the test.
