Welcome to Tide Ripples, our premier developmental swim program designed specifically for young swimmers aged 10 and under. If your child loves the water but isn’t quite ready for the starting blocks of competitive racing, this is the perfect place to start.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between swim lessons and competitive swim teams. In a fun, supportive, and low-pressure environment, coaches focus on refining technique, building endurance, and introducing the fundamentals of the four competitive strokes (Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Freestyle).
Program Goals:
Stroke Mastery: Break down the mechanics of all four competitive strokes.
Team Readiness: Introduce swim team structure, terminology, and lane etiquette.
Confidence Building: Foster a lifelong love for the water and boost self-esteem.
Tide Ripples is the perfect stepping stone to build the skills, stamina, and confidence needed to eventually join the full Tide Swim Team!
Beginning Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at Westside Pool
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday - 9 - 10 AM
Mini-Meet: Friday, July 10 at Memorial Pool
