Tryouts for the 2026-2027 Bowie Swim and Dive Team are now scheduled. Please make sure to have all forms completed or ready to turn in at the pool.

DATE/TIME/LOCATION:

Tryouts will be held on Saturday, April 11th from 11 AM – 1 PM at the Circle C Swim Center (5919 La Crosse Ave. #100, Austin, TX 78739). This will also be our practice facility.

​If it’s storming and the pool is closed, we will have tryouts at a later date/time TBD.

​

STEPS TO COMPLETE BEFORE TRYOUTS:

  1. Have a current sports physical complete on RankOne.  Physicals that were done for the 25-26 school year are still valid through 4/15/26. 
  2. If you are not a Circle C resident, complete this form so you can access the pool on tryout day. You can put “Bowie Swim” as the program you are registering for. 
  3. A parent or guardian needs to fill out this form agreeing to the volunteering requirements of the Swim and Dive Booster Club. 

ADDITIONAL TRYOUT NOTES:​

  • Please arrive 15 minutes early-on time and be prepared to swim and race!

  • Please come in your suit and have your goggles, swim caps ready!

  • Bring a water bottle for hydration and towel.  No other equipment is needed for tryouts.

  • Parents/Guardians, please stay until your swimmer gets checked in with paperwork.

  • Swimmers:  plan to be in the water for approximately two (2) hours.

  • Please clean up after yourself.  Circle C is our “home” and we want to keep it that way.

​

TRYOUTS ARE MANDATORY.  If you cannot make tryouts in April, please email Coach Carr immediately so we can schedule a makeup tryout:  chloe.a.carr@austinisd.org

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Bowie Swim and Dive Team is highly competitive and not a program to learn how to swim, for recreational swim, or to get PE credits (although you will).

Although not necessary, it is highly recommended that students have experience on a swim team before considering trying out.​

​​

  • Use proper technique in all four strokes

  • Come with a positive attitude

  • Ask questions

  • Complete all sets, regardless if you make the interval

  • Race

  • Do proper turns

  • Dive properly off the blocks

  • HAVE FUN!
