Step 1: Contact a NYC Hydras' member

We'll be able to answer any questions you have about the team and guide you to your first NYC Hydras practice.

Step 2: Trial Swim

After you speak with a team representative, we'll schedule a trial swim so you can get a feel for the team and we can get an idea of your skillset and goals

Step 3: United States Masters Swimming (USMS) Membership

For your trial swim you will sign a USMS membership waiver form for insurance purposes. Once you have decided to join the team a USMS membership is required, valid for that year.
