Riptides Competitive Swimming

Seasonal Team

Think you might be interested in competitive swimming? Our fun and friendly swim team is great a way for ages 6-18 to develop your skills while getting a feel for what it’s like to race against other swimmers.

The Riptides Swim Team is a competitive summer swim team that is part of the Northern Illinois Swim Conference. We practice on weekday mornings and compete against other local park districts on Wednesday nights. Our goal is to provide a competitive team experience at a recreational level. Emphasis is on learning competitive skills, enjoyment of the sport, and a lifelong participation in swimming.

Unfortunately, Riptides Swim Team has reached capacity for the 2024 season and we are not accepting any new registrations. We encourage you to check back in Spring of 2025 for next year. Please contact jjezek@prparks.org with any questions.
