Requirements for the Trial Program are the same as those for swimming, but is only open to new members of PMA.

Swimmers who are able to swim one length (25 metres) of the pool unassisted are ready to join PMA. We coach swimmers proper technique and give them opportunities to compete.

If your child is not able to swim 25 metres of the pool unassisted, they are encouraged to take community swim lessons and pass Red Cross Swim Kids level 4. Swimmers will be assessed at the time of registration to determine what group they should be registered in.
