Frequently Asked Questions

We take swimmers as young as 5 years old, all the way up to 18!

Fall/Winter session start in September and runs through the end of March. Summer sessions starts in May, and runs through the end of July

Derry Area Aqua Club is a competitive swim team, your child needs to be able to swim two lengths of the pool self sufficiently, be comfortable swimming with their head in the water, floating on their back, etc.

Try-outs are usually a week or two before the season starts. Keep an eye on our Facebook page to see when try-outs are scheduled for each session!

At least two swim meets are required during the summer session for your swimmer, as well as for parents/guardians for volunteering requirements.

Practice is not mandatory, however we love to see everyone several times throughout the week to continuously work on better techniques so what we work on in practice really shows at meets!
