Roycefield Rapids . . . About the Team
  • The Rapids are members of the New Jersey Swimming & Diving Conference. The Conference consists of ~28 teams divided into leagues, based on team strength and the previous season record. Roycefield usually competes in the A or B league.

  • The team is open to all members ages 5 to 18 who are able to swim at least one length of the pool. Swimmers compete in one of five age groups: 8 & under, 9-10, 13-14, 15-18. The league has a diving conference but Roycefield does not have a diving team.

  • Team practices start on Tuesday after Memorial Day and are held on Tues, Wed, & Thurs, Friday until school ends. Children are assigned to one of three groups, based on ability. During school, practices are held between 3:15 pm & 7:00pm. When school is finished the practice groups move to mornings (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri) between ~ 7:45am & 11am.

  • The team competes in 8 dual meets, League Championships, Conference Championships, and the Roycefield Sprint Meet. There is also a special meets where some team members participate.  These extra meets will be posted at the pool.

  • The Dual Meets are held on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings beginning the last week in June and ending in July.

  • League Championships are traditionally held on the last Saturday in July and the Conference Championships are traditionally held the following Tuesday and Wednesday.

  • The Team runs the Roycefield Sprint Meet in which all team members and PARENTS are expected to participate. This one day meet raises several thousand dollars for the team.

  • The team is supported by a Booster Club who assesses a registration fee (per swimmer basis), which covers, coaching, a team memento (t-shirt, gym bag with the team name, etc.), entry fees to league championships, the end of the season picnic, and miscellaneous team expenses.

  • Parents are required to be active either on the Booster Club or by participating on one of the many jobs it takes to run the meets, such as timers, officials, food sellers, scorers, ribbon writers, 50/50 sellers, or announcer.

  • All children of the club are encouraged to join the swim team. Look for sign-up information in the Spring or contact the coach for further questions.
