IMPORTANT REMINDERS

RSC PRESIDENTS’ DAY MEET: Congratulations to our Senior Elite swimmers who competed this past weekend in Rochester. There were many new best times and fantastic races!!! The results are now loaded in SWIMS and TU. Way to go everyone!

EXTREME COLD THIS WEEK: Please make sure your swimmer is properly dressed (coat, hat socks, gloves) for this crazy cold weather. For those groups that use the cage for dryland, the coaches may decide to make changes so that the swimmers do not have to walk outside. Lead coaches will communicate any changes to their groups.

RIPTIDE BRONZE CLASSIC: We are in the process of seeding the meet and will have the meet programs and timelines posted by Wednesday. At this point in time, we REALLY need to fill the remaining jobs!!! If you have a swimmer in the meet, we absolutely need your help. Thank you! https://www.riptideswimteam.org/controller/cms/admin/index#/calendar-team-events
