Remind Group for Practice updates

Updates to practices will be made through the Regency Riptides 2026 Remind group: Regency Riptides 2026 group. This is the same Remind group as last season so if you signed up last year you do not have to rejoin the group.

Practices

Practices will be held Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week at the Cambridge pool at the normal times (weather permitting).

Please attend the practice for your age group unless you have agreement ahead of time from Brayden and me to attend a different practice. Each practice group works on different skills and is staffed with the appropriate number of coaches based on the number of swimmers in that age group.

• Ages 6 & Under 5:00-5:45 PM
• Ages 7/8             5:45-6:30 PM
• Ages 9/10           6:30-7:30 PM
• Ages 11 & Up     7:30-8:30 PM

Starting Blocks

The starting blocks are installed. Please remind your swimmers that the blocks should only be used during swim practice when the coaches tell them it is OK to use them. For your children’s safety, the blocks should not be used at any other time.

Team Swimsuits

Team swimsuits are recommended but not required for swim meets.Swimmers do not need to wear team suits to practices. Information about team suits can be found at: Regency Riptides Team Swimsuits

Time Trials – June 2, 2026

Time trials will be held at the Cambridge pool on June 2, 2026. Check in is 4:45 pm, warm ups begin at 5:00 pm, team picture is at 5:45 pm, and meet start time is 6:00 pm. This meet is only for Regency Riptides swimmers. It gives swimmers and volunteers the opportunity to become familiar with the swim meet format. It also allows us to check out the starter and timing systems before we host a meet with another team. The pace of time trials is slower than an actual meet so that volunteers can learn and become familiar with roles. 

Pizza, bottled water, and a treat will be provided for the swimmers.

Meet sign up is open until Sunday, May 31, 2026 at 6:00 pm by accessing the following link: https://regencyriptides.swimtopia.com/swim_meets No entries will be accepted after sign up closes. During sign up, let us know if your swimmer(s) will be attending the meet or not attending the meet. You also sign your swimmer(s) for what events they will participate in.
