junior varsity swimming


Question Posted Monday February 19 2007, 9:20 pm

I'm going to be a freshman next year and I'm thinking i want to be on the junior varsity swim team. There's just one problem...I've never been involved in competitive swimming and i really don't know what it's like. I DO enjoy swimming and I know all the the strokes. Right now i'm working on my fitness and getting in shape. But I was wondering what it's like to be on a school swim team (especially how junior varsity differs from varsity) and what I should expect when I try out and if I make the team. I also want to know if I can meet the expectations an average team might have; I'd hate to look like a freak who doesn't know what I'm doing when I try out!

If you've never been on a swimteam before, that's alright. Most high schools have Freshman teams that only freshman can be on for this purpose.

If your school doesn't have one of these freshman teams, you can try out for JV. JV is usually like the set up for varsity. It's usually composed of underclassmen like yourself, and it's much less competitive.

Good luck!
