Mission Statement
Our mission is to cultivate a culture of excellence by developing athletes who push the boundaries of their potential through discipline, hard work, and perseverance. With a competitive mindset, we strive to excel both in and out of the pool, fostering teamwork, resilience, and success.
​
Expectations
-
Perfect attendance, if possible. Only sickness, family and occasional academic reasons are valid excuses.
-
A commitment to Tahoma High School swim. When you finish the season, we hope you walk through the halls proud of what you and your team accomplished. People who "get by" and don't commit rarely if ever are proud of what they have done. Some tough choices often need to be made and swimming shouldn't come after other things (dances, football games, jobs, sleeping in on Saturdays, etc.)
-
A good effort in all classes. You must be passing all classes or maintaining a 2.0. All members of the team should always receive positive comments from your teachers about your effort and attitude.
​
Cut Policy
One of the quantifiable data points we use for cutting is the 50 Set. This is a set of descending 50s on an interval that gets faster. The first 50 is on the minute, the second 50 is 59 seconds, and the third is on the 58 seconds. The set continues until a swimmer is unable to make the send off. The record for this set is 32 for girls and 34 for boys.

​
​
Varsity swimmers for Tahoma swim at the league championship meet. Seniors on the team must have already qualified for this meet in past seasons based on time or must show evidence of league qualifying ability during the tryout portion of their senior year.
​
Lettering
-
Swimmers will letter by scoring an average of 2 varsity points per dual meet or meet league standards in an event.
-
Divers will letter by qualifying for League.
-
Attitude and poor attendance may jeopardize an athlete's lettering privileges.
