December 19th
This is your River Falls Swim News for December 19th!
Great kick off to the Winter Session! It’s great to see so many swimmers in the water this winter! We hope that everyone is having a great lead up to the holidays and ready to dive into 2022!
There are practices and lessons scheduled this week on Monday-Thursday (December 20-23)! We will not have any lessons or practices from Friday December 24th-Sunday January 2nd! This decision was made for a multitude of reasons ranging from facility availability (None 28-30 DEC due to a wrestling invite) to coach availability (many home for J-Term or traveling with family), to past year practice attendance. We hope you all understand and enjoy the week off of practice, and we will see everyone back and rejuvenated to start off 2022!
Practices this week will be holiday themed and we hope to see everyone at all of the practices this week!

TEAM SUIT ORDERING: Link to order/purchase your suits: https://zoneswimwear.com/collections/river-falls-swim-club
- PASSWORD FOR ORDERING: GoRiverFalls
-Email Coach Michael if you want to set up a time to try the sizing kit in the pool office to verify you get the right size. Girls suits, the thick strap version and thin strap version fit and size differently, we only have the thick strap version of the suit as part of the sizing kit. If you decide you are going to order the thin strap suit, you will want to go one size larger than the suit you try on in the sizing kit.
-Swim suit purchases are a direct sale between the families and the vendor, they will ship the suits straight to your house after purchase. If there are issues with sizing, there is nothing that RFSC can do to assist you, you must reach out directly to the vendor to work on corrections.
River Falls Swim Club Board of Directors:
An exciting volunteer opportunity: we are seeking nominations for the RFSC board! Two of our board members’ terms expire in January, and we need new parents to join our Board! If you are interested in helping shape the future of the River Falls Swim Club and be more involved in club operations, please contact current board president Melissa Anderson at [email protected] with questions or to express interest. Selection of board members occur at the RFSC Annual Meeting in January.
HAPPY SWIMMING!
Michael
