Rising Rays
Younger children who cannot yet swim the entire length of the pool are invited to join our Rising Rays group (provided they are fully potty trained and ready to learn). The rising rays are swimmers, generally under 6 years old, that are not able to swim the length of the pool unassisted. Coaches work with a smaller group of 3 - 4 swimmers so they receive more individual attention. The goal is to assist them with their swimming skills in small groups so they can grow into confident swimmers. There will be a "mini" meet during the season where the swimmers have their own meet cheered on by their parents and coaches! Every swimmer will receive ribbons and a treat at the end of each of these meets. Swimmers who become able to swim the length of the pool unassisted during the season are eligible to "graduate" to the U6 practice and swim in the regular Tuesday night swim meets. Rising Rays are considered members of our swim team and receive a participation medal at the end of season banquet.
