We're a team built on strength of character, diverse personalities, and a passion for hard work. Established in 2017, the Riptides have sought to create an environment for the modern swim family. A family where children don't just swim, they also play soccer, lacrosse, participate in robotics or act in plays. Swimming is an evolutionary sport that encourages both team and individual accomplishment, but it doesn't have to be a child's only sport or activity. And as your child's schedule changes throughout the year, we designed a program to do the same. Multiple commitment levels allow families to prioritize activities without having to choose between them.
​
Riptides swimmers refer to themselves as a family. They welcome new athletes regardless of skill level and believe in helping those needing improvement so one day they can challenge them to further develop. No matter a swimmer's background, ALL have potential, ALL are valuable, and ALL ARE WELCOME.
​
Our Mission: To develop focused, responsible athletes through unbiased guidance while enhancing personal advancement and peer relationships.
What Are Riptides?

We are current Riptide swimmers, do we need to be evaluated?No, current Riptide swimmers or those that swam within the past year do not need to be evaluated. However, if a swimmer believes they have advanced in skills they can always speak to the coaching staff about being evaluated.

How do I start the process of having my swimmer evaluated?We are happy to set up evaluations throughout the year. Just complete the Riptide Evaluation Request and our coaches will get you scheduled!
-
Can someone help me with registration or suit ordering?Yes, we have staff on site to aid you in the registration process or selecting a swim suit. We have a size kit to ensure the right suit is selected and then we can walk you through the ordering process. All registration and suit purchases are conducted online.

I'm not sure my swimmer is ready for Riptides, who should I contact?Not quite sure if your swimmer is ready? Simply fill out an evaluation request form and our head coach can advise you. Even if your swimmer is not quite ready yet, the Aquaventure swim program is designed to prepare them for swim team. Once we find your swimmer's entry point into the program we can clearly map out their journey to swim team!
