Hello ROSRC members! Happy July!!
Notice:
Pool Chair/Sonny Spratlin-
Pool will be closed a few hours on Tuesday, 7/22, for pump room repairs. The estimated time for completion and reopening of the pool is 1pm
| President/ Brandy Howell- Swim Team Update: Congratulations goes out to our River Oak Rapids Swim Team on completing another successful summer swim season. As many of you have heard, we were joined by a number of Cricket Cyclone Swimmers this year as their facility no longer supports a team. Fortunately, we shared a similar summer swim philosophy and together our team of 93 swimmers were able to – Train Hard, Swim Fast, and Have Fun – together. Thank you to our Head Coach – Lauren Diehl – who did an outstanding job this year managing a much larger team than last year while also helping to teach skills and help so many of our swimmers improve in the water. Lauren will be so dearly missed by her swim friends. And to our wonderful (and very fun) Assistant Coaching Staff – Caitlyn Diehl, Zack Culbertson , Bennett Culbertson, and Steve-Michael Bennett – thank you all for all the hard work and dedication to our kids! You too will be missed. We hope you come back to us next season.  A number of our swimmers qualified for individual events at the Gwinnett County Swim Championships at Georgia Tech that was held July 11 – 13th. Additionally we sent a number of swimmers on our relay teams – many of whom were able to participate in the excitement of the County Championships for the first time.  Finally, I would like to encourage the general membership at River Oak to Congratulate these kids when you see them or ask them how their swim season was. They began practice in the cold water of May and have spent the last 8 weeks working hard and having fun. Many of them could out swim most of the adults at our club – myself included! I know it is not always convenient to see the swim team on deck when you or your family wants a quiet hour at the pool; however, we thank you for your patience and understanding as this is truly a worthwhile use of our facility. These kids are learning a life skill and they are building friendships as the weeks go by. It is a truly special thing to see children of all ages improve their skills, cheer each other on, help each other learn, and take an active role in their team. ROSRC should be very proud of the children that represent OUR club. |
On that note, mark your calendars because we will open up registration for the 2026 Summer Swim Season next March. We’d love to have your child(ren) join us! Join us early because registration will fill up!
