Summer Swim Team-The Riptides
During the summer season, the Riptides compete in the East Kansas Swim League which is made up of eight other teams. The team competes with Bonner Springs, Gardner, Piper, Tonganoxie, Eudora, Lansing, DeSoto and the Lakes Team (Lake of the Forest and Lake Quivira). All swimmers, ages 5-18 years, compete in their own age group against swimmers of equal ability. The coaching staff places emphasis on skill development, improving stroke mechanics, and fun!
Parent (or other team member family) participation at swim meets is expected.
