(Heads up, 9/10s and 11/12s are up next week.)

Click here to bring the coaches coffee or lunch. (We have a big staff, so we recommend teaming up with another family.)
Beach Day – This Friday!
No practice this Friday and instead the RATS are taking ove the beach. Please join us for a casual team event at Ocean Beach for a relaxing, fun day off. Coaches are coming, but they are off-duty and just there for fun. Each family is responsible for supervising their own swimmers. Show up around 11am and take off whenever works for your family.
Details: Park and cross the Great Highway at Taraval and 48th street where there is a safe crosswalk. Taraval has some great food options within three blocks.
We are planning to set up around the same spot as last year, but we can’t be sure what will be available until we arrive. Once we get there and set up camp, we will post the exact meeting spot on Facebook and Instagram.
See you at the beach!

Lessons
Lessons are available! We post all the coach’s sign-up links on our website (click here); however, it is the coaches’ responsibility to update their sign-ups, set prices, receive payment, etc.
We have 200 swimmers on our team, so please be considerate when booking lessons. We don't want one swimmer having three lessons per week and another left with none.
Please note: Swimmers may only sign up for one lesson per week with Coach Nick. If you sign up for multiple lessons for one swimmer, the earlier lesson will stay on his schedule and the remainder for the week will be deleted. Only team swimmers should sign up for lessons with Coach Nick. Rugrats should sign up with any other coach.
