Swim Team Eligibility
1. Tri-County Rules state that Sunnybrook Makos and Mini-Makos must be current members of Sunnybrook Swim Club.
2. In order to be eligible for the swim team, the swimmer must be able to swim 25 meters (one lap) of freestyle. The swimmer must be able to complete the entire lap without stopping, grabbing onto the wall, touching the bottom, etc. Please note that the 8 and under swim team group will be in the pool for an hour - although the swimmers will certainly get lots of breaks, we are practicing for the whole hour. Thus it may not be the best fit for a swimmer who can make an entire lap, but then need a great deal of rest to recover.
2. To register, you must complete a Swim Team Registration Form and complete the Sunnybrook Swim Club Member Application. You must pay your dues at the time of registration.

Swim Team vs. Mini-Makos vs. Learn to Swim
There are several different levels of swimming programs available at Sunnybrook. The guidelines below were created to assist parents in understanding which program would be most appropriate for their child.
Mini-Makos
The "Mini-Makos" are a group that typically consists of 5-7 year olds who are not quite ready for the swim team. They may be able to swim for brief periods but cannot yet complete a lap without stopping. Over the course of the summer, some Mini-Makos are "promoted" due to their progress and are able to join the Swim Team practices. This decision is made by the coaching staff. Mini-Makos swimmers may be eligible to participate in B meets. This is not a requirement but simply a way to have our youngest members experience the excitement of the swim meet atmosphere. The Mini-Makos is not a learn-to-swim program.
Learn To Swim Program
Swimming lessons also are provided by Sunnybrook but are not associated with the swim team. These lessons are typically taught by college age students. These groups are designed as "learn to swim" groups and include children who have had little/no prior swimming instruction.
