WEEKLY NEWS – August 23, 2021

Dear Riptide Families,

Congratulations to all of our swimmers for an outstanding long course championship season. We look forward to seeing you back in the pool after a well-earned break.

As you prepare for registration, please note that two of our key staff members have moved on from Riptide. We want to thank Paul Smith and Mikaela Bagley for their commitment and dedication to Riptide swimmers and families over the last several years. Both Paul and Mikaela will be greatly missed!

Head Coach Mike Parratto is working closely with our current staff to put a solid coaching staff together to cover all of our groups effectively and successfully. We ask you for your patience this week while we work through those plans (including dryland). In the meantime, if you have any immediate questions, please email coach Amy Parratto ([email protected]).
