 Welcome to Riptide Minimize

Riptide swim team is a United States Swimming competitive swim program, part of Rockford Aquatics, for swimmers ages five to 18 who meet the minimum criteria for joining the club. Competitive swimming experience is not needed prior to joining. The coaches work with swimmers of all abilities to refine swimming skills. 
achieving the highest level of potential in and out of the water
Riptide
 is comprised of several swim sessions over the course of the year. These sessions vary in length and involve some meet availability in addition to practices. Fun events like beach parties, banquets, halloween party, pizza and pool game nights are also included throughout our year round program.
focusing on physical, mental and social development
Riptide are, or have been, competitive swimmers themselves. They are now passing along their knowledge, along with teaching the latest techniques, to our swimmers. All our coaches are USS certified and participate with on-going top level training.
becoming confident and caring individuals
Riptide swimmers are fantastic! Along with the support from their families and the instruction from the coaches, our swimmers learn a lot, build great relationships, and have fun while developing great swimming techniques and leadership that they display in every meet.
demonstrating leadership and sportsmanship
