Rio Swim Team

Swim meets are a vital component of the Development Team Program at Rio Swim Club. We host monthly swim meets, attracting over 300 swimmers from across the East Valley to compete in all four stroke disciplines. These events provide coaches with the opportunity to evaluate training progress, assess improvements in individual stroke technique under competitive conditions, and offer swimmers a chance to gauge their performance against peers of the same age. Additionally, swim meets are a fun and exciting occasion for swimmers to forge new friendships and compete alongside their teammates.

Tips and Tricks from Our Rio Coaches for Your First Meet

Check Your Email – All meet programs are emailed prior to the event and posted on our Rio website. The program includes the order of events, heats, and lanes for all swimmers.

Be Prepared – Ensure you have your suit, cap, goggles, and water bottle ready.

Check In – Upon arrival, proceed to the white tent next to the pool. Our Rio Coaches will be there to greet you, explain how to read the program, answer any questions, and prepare your swimmer for their events.

Talk to Your Coach – Consult your coach before your race to receive specific feedback on the events you are competing in.

Have Fun – This is the most important aspect. Swimming is an enjoyable sport, so smile and race with enthusiasm.

We strive to make your swim meet experience as stress-free as possible. Please reach out to your swimmer’s coach with any questions, and we look forward to seeing you on the pool deck!
