Hi Riverwood Rapids Swimmers and Parents,

I hope this email finds you well and that you are having a great last week of April. If you are receiving this email, it is because you are on our registration mailing list for the Summer 2021 swim season! We are so excited to have a season this summer and look forward to getting back into the water! 

In attempts to keep this email short and sweet, please reference our Contact Us page and Swim Coach page for information on those individuals helping run the team this summer behind the scenes or on the deck. 

Couple things to note and make your transition to summer swim easy: 

1. Subscribe to our schedule via the Subscribe link found on this page: https://rapids.swimtopia.com/swim_meets...this will automatically update your calendar if anything changes LIKE our June 1st meet moving from away to a home meet :) 

2. If you are new to the team, new to summer swim, or need a refresher of how this whole thing works, please read through our FAQs. 

3. Practice schedule is NOT in the main schedule of events but is as follows, we will send reminders for when they move to mornings:

Start Tuesday May 11th, practice 11-13th & May 17th - May 19th
High School/Middle Schoolers: 3-4pm
Elementary School: 4-5pm

Practices move to mornings Monday thru Friday starting on Monday May 24th and go through Friday June 25th. No practice on: Monday May 31st (Memorial Day)

4. Join our Remind, in case we have to cancel a practice due to weather or for other urgent messages: @rwrapids to 81010 to join 

5. COVID: With COVID 19 still being a concern, please note that if volunteering on the pool deck or in concessions we are requiring a face covering. Additionally, parents/spectators that are NOT volunteering will be allowed to watch from the grass area of the pool. We are recommending swimmers, parents, spectators, etc. have face mask/covers on hand for when social distancing can not be exercised. Lastly, a reminder that you signed a responsibility agreement to follow these guidelines and keep your swimmer(s) from the pool if they are not feeling well.

May 11th: First Day of Practice (Kona Ice at Practice) 

May 19th: Augusta Swim Supply & Kona Ice at Practice & PARENT MEETING (recap will be sent for those that can't attend)

We are looking forward to seeing everyone in just over a week...crazy I know but we are so excited to get this season started!
