Swim Video

Watch the following video for a drill we will be working on in practice the remainder of the week.

Group 4 White and Senior 2 - Dry Lands during Summer

Group 4 White and Senior 2 Swimmers and Parents- I am going to be adding Dryland options from 3:00 - 3:45 on Tuesday and Thursday starting next week. I will be up at the pool so the kids can come to get some work done prior to 4:00 start time. We will be doing some P90x, Insanity and good old fashion land work. All swimmers must have some kind of shoe they can run in, shirt and shorts, and a large water bottle they can refill during practice. I will provide Gatorade for those who want it during drylands. Let me know if your swimmer is going to step it up and attend over the upcoming weeks.
See you at the pool,
Coach Jason

Group 1 Practice Times

Parents- With the earlier practice times for this summer we are offering both groups at both practice times 4:00 and 4:45. We will have separate lanes for each group. We are asking each family to email me over the weekend with which of the two times your child will be swimming in over the summer. At this point we will not be allowing crossing over of groups due to lane space.

See you at the pool,

Coach Jason

All Swimmers ID Information

Parents and Swimmers - Next Monday the RICE Rec Center will start their Summer Youth Programs. This will mean an influx of kids being dropped off/picked and supervised during all RICE Aquatics Practice times. The Rec Center will be closely monitoring the entrance of all youths and adults into the REC Center over the next few months to ensure the safety of SYP kids and our RICE Aquatics members. Please be prepared to show your Parent/Swimmer badge at the gate or your use your Master ID to gain access to the pool during practice hours. Master IDs are available at the RUPD for all active "current" members for $10 and parent/swimmer badges have been handed out poolside over the last three weeks. If you did not receive an ID please come by the pool fence line for one. 

In addition any lost ID's by swimmers will carry a $5 charge for replacement. We have had multiple replacements of these at a high rate already for the session. Please have your swimmers tuck these into their equipment bag or attach them to their bag so they are not lost and hold up for some time.

Thank you for all the support of RICE Aquatics and the RICE Rec Center. 

See you guys at the pool,

All RICE Aquatics Members - Please Read

Parents and Swimmers - Please read the following information regarding the Inner Loop Rd and drop off/pick up information. Begging after Memorial Day there will be two major changes at RICE that will affect drop off/pick up and arrival to and from the pool for practice. The Rec Center will have their Summer Youth Programs starting which will have kids being picked up and dropped off during our AM and PM practice times. There will be more traffic on the road than usual. In addition to this there will be construction going on to part of the roads at RICE which will make the Inner Loop (road that runs in front of REC Center) a two lane road. This means there will be no stopping other than for drop off and pick up along the street. Anyone stopping for more than a second will get ticketed. There will also no longer be the option of putting your hazards on even while in your car. For drop off purposes cars must do this past the cones that will be set up for the Rec Center youth program. 

The best option for getting swimmers to and from practice during this time is parking either in the West Lot 1 or North Lot pay lots and walking them into the building and doing the same for pick up. Parents and Swimmers also have the option of purchasing a parking pass which gets them access to West Lot 2 parking lot near the stadium. I would like to thank everyone in advance for working with RICE Aquatics, RICE and the Rec Center while the construction and youth programs are going on.

If you have any questions please email coach Jason directly.

See you at the pool,
