TRY MASTERS SWIMMING
NOT SURE IF MASTERS SWIMMING IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU?
SCSC offers a free one week trial to prospective Masters swimmers! Fill out the form or email aidan@sarpycountyswimclub.com to get started!
For insurance and liability reasons, we require you to complete the US Masters 30 Day Tryout/Trial/Guest registration membership application. The application can be downloaded and printed by clicking here. While USMS allows for up to 30 days for a trial, SCSC values and acknowledges the value of lane space for current members, which is why we only offer a one week trial.
The application must be submitted via email and submitted to aidan@sarpycountyswimclub.com prior to your first trial practice or printed and brought to your first trial practice.
