Sebastopol Sea Serpents

Our Sebastopol Sea Serpents year-round team is for swimmers ready to make a consistent commitment to training, skill development, and team participation.

If your swimmer is new to the team, the first step is attending a tryout so our coaches can ensure proper group placement.

Looking for a short-term or introductory option? Be sure to check out our seasonal programs (Spring, Summer, and Fall Serpents), which are designed as flexible, trial experiences.

Tryouts are by Reservation Only - Follow the steps below to join the team:
