PROGRAM: The Swim and Dive program at Kennedy Catholic offers varsity and junior varsity level competition and is a soft cut sport. Athletes who are not safe in deep water or on the diving board will be cut. Athletes who want to learn but do not reach the varsity level will practice 3 days a week and compete in some. A number of swim and dive meets occur off campus, but all practices are at the Foster High School pool. We compete in the North Puget Sound League (NPSL) at the 4A level.
TRYOUTS: 8/25-8/27, Monday through Wednesday from 3:00-5:00. These will be full practices at Foster pool. The coaches will assess which athletes will swim 5 days a week. This will also be an opportunity to show potential JV swimmers what the program requires and entails should they want to learn during the season. Â
Â
Rosters will be announced Wednesday, 8/27, by the end of practice.
Â
PRACTICE: Practice days will be calendared, but generally at Foster Pool, 3pm to 5pm, Monday through Friday except specific holidays.
