RSTA: New Process for Swimmer Evaluations

Reston Swim Team Assocaition (RSTA) says it is changing the process for swim testing for new league swimmers ages 10 and under. 

RSTA will be conducting swim evaluations to assess safety in the water and readiness to participate on a summer swim team. These New Swimmer Evaluations replace the swim test that had previously been conducted during the first week of summer swim practice. 

All new swimmers age 10 and under who have not participated on an RSTA team or RSTA Winter Swim Program, are required to participate in a New Swimmer Evaluation. This includes children born between June 15, 2007 and June 14, 2002.

Space is limited for the New Swimmer Evaluations.

New Swimmer Evaluations will be held at the Reston Community Center on:

* Friday, April 19 from 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM

* Sunday, April 21 from 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

In order to register for an RSTA team, all new 10-and-under swimmers must attend and pass the New Swimmer Evaluations.

If you have a child (age 10 or under) that is new to RSTA who is registering with a returning swimmer, that new child MUST also register for the New Swimmer Evaluations and pass the evaluation in order to participate on the team.

Registration for the New Swimmer Evaluations will be posted on the RSTA website (www.rsta.org) on Tuesday, March 26. If you have questions, please contact the RSTA Registrar (rstaregistrar@rsta.org).
