Swim Team Information:
Our Swim Team has experienced much success over the past several years. That success has led to a lot of growth. We love that so many kids want to come and swim with us in the summer. In order to maintain a good program with coaches who are able to work with kids on appropriate skills, we will REQUIRE that all swimmers meet certain skills. If your swimmer is not quite ready, I highly recommend swim lessons. Swim lessons teaches strokes, swim team should be for refining strokes, endurance, and adding to skills.
Only those who have not swam on Riverside swim team previously need to attend the try-out on June 7. Swimmers should be able to swim the length of the pool (25 Meters) independently on their stomach with some breathing. They need to be able to do this without grabbing onto the side or having someone right next to them. It is important that we know swimmers are independent and are water safe without a coach right next them. You can come anytime between 8-10:30 am for your try-out.
Swim team practices will be Monday-Friday from June 8 until the last week of July. Fridays are used for meet prep (practicing starts, turns, finishes, etc.) and some games. Swim meets will be on Saturdays. We will have 2 meets in June and 2 meets in July. Meets are not required but encouraged. Practice times are based on age and stamina of our swimmers. Our littlest swimmers do best with the 30 min practice. We bring in extra coaches for this practice to help with stroke technique.
Swimmers should plan on coming to their assigned time slot. We may invite your child to come at a different time depending on their skills. It is important that we have kids in the right group in order to create the best learning environment. Please talk to Christine if you would like to discuss your swimmer's placement.
It will take a week or two to settle into placements, so please be patient as we make adjustments to lane assignments. We are a summer recreation team, so we would love your kids to be at practice as much as possible, but we understand that there will be conflicts and days missed.
A few coaches will be running a 2 day swim team prep clinic the week before try-outs. This is meant for past swimmers who need a refresher and swimmers who are just about ready for swim team, but just need a little last minute push. If you are interested in doing this, please sign up on this link. Based on this list, I will send out more info when it is finalized.
**Charges for swim team will not run until after try-outs. You will not be charged if your child does not make the team. After the first week of swim team, there is a $50 cancellation fee plus prorated days of team practice dates until June 23. Following that date, any fees paid are non-refundable. Thank you.
