Please understand that the selection process is one that is not taken lightly. Everyone who showed up has obviously spent many years working on their craft. If you happened to not have made the roster this year, I recommend you continue to swim with a local team and tryout again next year. Thank you to everyone for their interest and congratulations to the 2011 - 2012 McNeil Varsity Swimming & Diving Team!!

Also, please understand that if you have made the above roster that you are agreeing to a commitment of staying in shape and working hard for the next month leading up to the start of school.  Failure to abide by this commitment could result in you forfeiting your position on the team. 

Everyone should be receiving an email about up coming team orders soon.  If you don't receive an email in the next week you should contact Coach Foss at utfoss9@yahoo.com. 

Thanks again, and congratulations.  See you soon.

TRYOUT TIME CHANGE!!!

Prospective McNeil Swimmers,

In order to avoid possible pool conflicts, tryouts will need to begin 30 minutes earlier at 6:30 AM and will end at around 9 AM.  Please see the earlier tryout post to see what each swimmer must bring and be prepared for at tryouts.  See you at the pool.
