Roswell Rapids Youth, Adult Swim Teams Season Begins

Forgot to sign up? Don't worry, you can still register for both the youth and adult teams now.

With summer fast approaching, the Roswell Rapids aquatics teams are already practicing, but are still registering for the 2013 season.Β 

Beginning this week at the Roswell Area Park pool, the teams began their practices. However, there is still a chance to dive in and join! The youth swim and dive teams are open to residents and non-residents ages five and up. Adult Fitness Swimming and Adult Swim Team are available for swimmers ages 19 and Up (age on June 1, 2013).

While the Rapids Youth Swim still has spots available; the Rapids Youth Dive team is currently full. However, you can register for the dive team wait-list in the event a spot opens up. The Rapids youth swim and dive team seasons run through the end of June.

For Rapids Adult Fitness Swimming and Adult Swim Team, spots are still available as well.

Adult Fitness Swimming has Intro, Intermediate and Advanced levels for those that like to swim for fitness. All Adult practices are conducted by a coach in a group environment. Adult Fitness Swimmers may also choose to participate on the Rapids Adult Swim Team that competes from June through August.

Adult Fitness Intro level is for swimmers with basic beginner skills. If you can swim some freestyle but always wanted to know how to actually turn that into a fitness routine, this is the perfect level - it starts out with minimal yardage with the goal of increasing your fitness and yardage throughout the summer. For intermediate and advanced adult swimmers, practice consists of more advanced swimming with longer yardage and specialized workouts. Adult Fitness Swim practices are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 7:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. and and Saturday mornings from 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. All practices are at the Roswell Area Park pool.
