*Updated 8/21/26 – Wayne Specific Update: While we are providing a try-out information packet for the Wayne Area, the information remains preliminary. Registration will not open until we are able to better determine what the beginning of the season will look like. We are currently exploring several options that would allow us to begin the season at other area pools while we wait for the Wayne facility to reopen. We are still working through the details and hope to have more information shortly. If you have already been evaluated and offered a spot at Wayne, your spot and group placement remain on file and there is nothing you need to do at this time.
If you have not yet been evaluated and are interested in joining the Wayne program, you may still complete the try-out form so that we have your information and email us at cougaraquaticteamllc@gmail.com.

UPDATED 8/26/26
Due to the temporary closure of the Wayne Community Center following the recent fire, our previously scheduled Wayne try-outs were canceled.
We are currently working on options to begin the season at other area pools while we wait for the Wayne facility to reopen. Registration for the Wayne program has not yet opened, as we want to have a clearer plan in place before asking families to register or submit tuition payments.
If you have already been evaluated and offered a spot at Wayne, your spot and group placement remain on file and there is nothing you need to do at this time.
If you have not yet been evaluated and are interested in joining our Wayne program, please complete our try-out form and email us at cougaraquaticteamllc@gmail.com. We will contact you regarding an evaluation once we have finalized our plans for the start of the season.
Please review the Wayne Area Information Packet above for preliminary information about the program. We will continue to update this page as additional details are finalized.
