Rapids Swim Team

Rapids Swim Team The Rapids are a year-round swim team, offering programs for swimmers ages 5 to 18. We have a phenomenal coaching staff and a superior parents’ organization.

Our mission is to develop champion athletes and citizens through commitment to excellence in swimming. The Rapids Swim Team was established in 2005 by combining the Shelton Seals Swim Team and the Monroe Gators Swim Team. The Rapids are a widely respected team for swimmers of all ages and ability levels. We offer programs for swimmers who have just learned to swim through college age. The Rapids Swim Team offers swimmers the opportunity to develop personal potential through swimming. Our mission is to be a competitive swim program in the community, providing lifetime skills to its members including physical, intellectual and emotional development. Through swimming, members learn the values of sportsmanship and teamwork. Our goal is to develop character, skills, and the desire necessary to achieve each individual's potential. Our philosophy of motivation and determination prepares swimmers to face challenges in life and teaches strength of character.
