In a brief nutshell, most swim team tryouts run much like a swim practice and only last for a short period. The coach will test each swimmer's ability in the water and will either have the swimmer swim each stroke or have them complete a series of small sets. This depends upon each swim team and coach.
In short, if you can swim legally and have the motivation to practice 4-5 days a week then you can join the high school swim team with no experience.
Swimming is a sport of privilege in the United States. That is not to say that everyone in swimming is rich, in fact quite the opposite (especially the coaches). The sport as presently constructed is extremely expensive.

Just as you don't need expensive goggles. A simple practice suit and goggles will work just well for training and tryouts. At the same time, you shouldn't attempt to swim in swim trunks, shorts, or a t-shirt. They become heavy once in the water and make it difficult to swim in.
Swim teams will generally compete against others. However, swim races are not just against one school. Generally, several schools will get together to have a meet and participants will compete against up to 7 others. Each student will get a lane of their own to swim in.
