Would your children and teens enjoy the opportunity to improve their swimming and be part of a fun, summer, outdoor swim team?  The Upper Valley Rapids Swim Team is a multi-skill-level group serving ages 6-18.  We practice at the lap pool here at Storrs. The team focuses on safety, fun, teamwork, fitness, and building competitive swimming skills. The Rapids will have beginner through advanced groups. This is not a “learn-to-swim” program. To be on the team, your swimmer must, at minimum, be able to get in and out of the pool independently, swim with his/her face in the water, and swim 25 yards (one length of the pool) unassisted. Swimmers new to competitive swimming as well as those with many years of experience are welcome!

The season runs for seven weeks from June 17th through August 4th. Practices will be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings from 8:00am-9:00am (times may vary depending on level) and Monday and Thursday evenings from 7:00pm-8:00pm. Swimmers are encouraged, but not required, to come to at least three practices per week. If you’ll be away for part of the season, that’s fine.  Meets are most Tuesday evenings and occasional Saturdays.

The Rapids head coach, Ashley Ellis, has over 15 years experience coaching competitive swimming.
