You can come try out TPA before registering! If you reach out to Coach Cory or Coach Elyse and let them know the level and abilities of the swimmer so we can have an idea of what group would be best. Then, when trying out, we'll have a better idea beforehand of the group the swimmer should be in. There is mobility between groups when first starting out. We want to make sure our swimmers are in the best group for them!

Yes! A team suit is required to be worn during meets but for practices, swimmers can wear their choice of suit. If you have a question about what size suit to order, ask a coach!

Yes! Practice still happens if it is only raining. If it is raining hard enough that the bottom of the pool is not visible, then practice will be canceled.

TPA responds to the Trinity Preparatory School system that is in place for inclement weather. If lightning is within a six mile radius of the campus, a siren will go off from atop a neighboring building. Swimmers, coaches, and parents are then required to wait thirty minutes from the last lightning strike within the six mile radius before returning to the pool deck. During the weather delay, athletes are to remain under cover and off the pool deck. Contact your coach or review your TPA Club Welcome Packet to see the lighting siren system link. It shows how much time is left before swimmers are cleared to return to the pool and the distance of the latest lightning strike. The siren is synced with the WeatherBug app, which can show you how far away the lightning is before it reaches within six miles of campus.

Workouts are not mandatory. We encourage the athletes, especially the younger ones, to continue to pursue other activities. However, once they get older and want to commit to the sport, there is an expectation of good attendance.

The pool is heated and cooled depending on the weather. During the cooler months, the heater is turned on and the pool is covered in tarps to keep the heat in. During the warmer months, the cooler is turned on. The pool is typically kept around 82 in the summer and 84/85o in the winter.

No, we have both TPS and non-TPS students who are part of our USA Swimming team, Trinity Prep Aquatics. We serve the entire community in all of our programs outside of the FHSAA High School Swimming/Diving season.
