Houston Orcas

Tryouts: Monday, April 27 - Friday, May 1, 2026

• You must be registered in order to try out!
  • Registration ensures that participants are covered by our league insurance policy.
• New swimmers age 7 and up are required to swim one length of the pool, unassisted, using any stroke (including doggy paddle!)

• New swimmers age 6 and under are required to swim 12.5 meters (half the pool.)
• Swimmers may try out for the team each day of tryouts.
• Those who do not successfully complete tryouts may remain registered with the Orcas for the season if they sign up for swim lessons with one of our corporate partners. Once they progress in swim lessons enough to be able to make it across the length of the pool they may then begin practicing with the team.
• The deadline to request a refund for the season, including for those who do not successfully complete tryouts, is Friday, May 1 at 8:00PM CDT.
• A $25 Try-out fee will be deducted from the refund for those who do not successfully complete the try-outs.
