RO Rapid Swim Team/
April McGee & Haydee Gamboa-
Get ready for another exciting season with the River Oak Rapids Swim Team! We’re thrilled to kick off the 2026 season and can’t wait to see our swimmers back in the pool.
This year, our Team Council representatives, April McGee (ROSRC member) and Haydee Gamboa, will be working alongside our amazing parent volunteers to help make this season smooth, fun, and memorable for everyone.
Last season we had nearly 100 swimmers, and we’re hoping to make an even bigger splash this year! We’re also excited to welcome back our fantastic coaching team, including Head Coach Bennett Culberston and Steve-Michael Bennett.
Registration for the 2026 season is now open!

Meet & Greet – April 18 | 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Come meet the coaches, connect with other families, ask questions, and get excited for the upcoming season!
Whether you’re a returning swimmer or joining us for the first time, we’re looking forward to another season of training hard, swimming fast, and having fun together.
See you on deck!
Go Rapids!
Building and Grounds/Stu Routon-
The ROSRC workday volunteer event is scheduled for Saturday, April 25th (9 a.m.- noon). We look forward to seeing our members on this day. We need members to volunteer to help with the upkeep of OUR pool. A sign up form will be posted on our Facebook members only group, as well as sent in a separate email (to come).
Email [email protected] with any questions.
General Board Meeting!-
Please attend the Spring General meeting for ALL members on Monday, April 13th at 7 PM at the pavillion. In the past, turnout has been low so we have changed to a weekday in the hopes this will better fit the needs of more member families. These bi-annual meetings are the best time for the board to share important information and for members to participate in decision making.
