RIPPLES
Ripples is an introductory program designed to provide an opportunity for participants to set goals, work as a team, make friends, have fun and improve their swimming ability. Ripples swimmers focus on stroke development, fun, and fellowship… with a little dose of healthy competition at HOME meets at the Lake Norman YMCA.
