Masters Weekend Practice

Masters Swimmers will have normal Saturday practice this week. Please ignore the signs posted on the doors of the Rec Center.

Returning Swimmer Week Registration Practice Times

Returning Age Group and Senior Swimmer Registration: *Updated*

August 23rd - 25th. 

Group 1 Navy and White, Group 2 and Group 3: 4:45 - 5:30 pm 

Group 4, Senior 1 and Senior 2: 5:30 - 6:30 pm

These practice times are for the returning swimmer week only. We will begin Fall 2010 practice times on September 7th.

Swimmers will swim in the groups they were previously placed in and be evaluated and placed through out the week. These practices will not introduce new ideas or be used for training instead they will be offered to get swimmers back into the mix prior to taking in new swimmers. It is essential that if your swimmer is going to participate on the club they attend as many practices this week as possible. If you are unable to attend please send me an email. Practice times and dates will be posted on our website as well as the new blog and news features.

Fall 2010 Returning Swimmer Registration



I would first like to thank all of the families that participated with RICE Aquatics during our Summer session. Listed below is the process to commit to the 2010 Fall session. This process is for Masters swimmers. It is essential all swimmers choose a status prior to the 28th of August so RICE can anticipate our numbers and pool space for the Fall session. It is crucial that everyone chooses a status prior to the registration deadline. We will be submitting all committed names for key card access directly from the list formed by this event. If you have already payed for the Fall session by cash or check with one of the coaches please leave this in the comment box as you commit for the Fall.

Gulf Meet Dates for Short-course Season

Parents - I have copied the schedule for the upcoming Shortcourse season. Groups are not yet designated so sites for each meet can not be confirmed. I am asking that all swimmers plan their activities around their meet schedule. All swimmers should be building to the Championship meets in the winter and spring.
