HOW YOU CAN BECOME A MEMBER OF THE DEAF NATIONAL SWIM TEAM:

Athlete selection criteria can be found here (PDF):

1.  Attend US Deaflympic Swimming Trials this July 11-13, 2008.  Click here to download the meet packet (PDF). Click here to download the hotel information (PDF).

2.  Submit your SWIMS times to our swimming manager, Seda Ozdemir, sedaozdemir@gmail.com.

3.  You must meet the cut-off times to even be considered.  Meeting these cut-off times does not guarantee you a spot.  We will select the fastest swimmers and the combination of swimmers we determine will make a medal-winning team.

IMPORTANT:
United States Deaf Swimming is actively fund raising to financially support the trip costs for our team. 
However, the ultimate financial responsibility is the athlete's. 
We predict the cost per athlete will be up to $7,000 but could vary greatly. 
If you want to be a member of this team, start fund raising NOW.
