Try Out for the Makos

We are Morgan Hill’s only year-round competitive aquatic club serving the youth of southern Santa Clara County area since 1961. We have an excellent program with top-caliber professional coaches that can help you make it to the next level in swimming. Could swimming be your sport too? Come by to watch us in action any afternoon of the week and observe what are practices are like. 

Frequently asked questions about team try outs are:

Where do I go for a try out?  Try outs are held in the large competition pool located at the Morgan Hill Aquatics Center, which is the home pool for the Makos.

What can I expect during the try out?  Your child will be asked to swim two laps in the competition pool while being observed by one of our certified coaches. This brief try out (about 10 to 15 minutes) will help the coach determine your child’s swimming abilities. Upon completion a recommendation will be provided to the child’s parent.

When can I have a try out?  Try outs are on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:45pm. It is preferred that you call our team phone at 408-782-0088 and leave a message requesting a try out. Our Assistant Coach will return your call and schedule an appointment with you at your convenience.

How should I be prepared for a try out?  Come prepared with your 1-piece swim suit already on (no two-piece suits or cut-off jeans), goggles if you have them (no face masks), a towel, and a change of clothes. Crocs or flip-flops are also recommended.

Note: A hair band or a cap to keep your hair secure is recommended for kids with long hair.
