Welcome to the Rapids! Joining a sport is a commitment, and swimming can be more time consuming than most sports. Children that participate on the Rapids Swim Team will learn the sport of swimming. They will learn the different strokes and their skills will be refined to make them the best swimmers they can be. They also learn things that they can apply to their life outside of swimming such as strong work habits and discipline, how to handle competition and pressure, nutrition and even a little physiology. We see the Rapids Swim Team as a developmental program. That is, when we have a swimmer at age six or eight, we want to see that swimmer as a complete athlete at age 18. Swimming with the Rapids is also a great opportunity to have fun and make friends. The social aspect of swimming is very important, and the Rapids’ coaches try to make practice fun, while working hard, swimming smart, and training in an environment that makes success inevitable. Head Coach Debra D. Wells, is a member of the American Swimming Coaches Association and has successfully completed and been awarded Level 2: Age Group Certification. Coach Wells attended the 2007 American Swim Coaches Association World Clinic in order to keep up with the latest in stroke techniques and training theories. As of December 15, Coach Deb will be leaving us to move to California. We will miss her and wish her all the best! Assistant Coach Heather Annino is a former Rapids Swim Team member. Coach Heather will assume the role of Head Coach from December 15th on. If a child wants to have a lot of fun but is also serious about wanting to become a good swimmer, the Rapids Swim Team is the perfect place to be. | Latest News
