​Dear Parents of Swimmers,

Summer swim team is right around the corner so start preparing your child now!

My name is Kim Wiebe, I am a mom of three and have been teaching swimming for over 25 years. I am a Red Cross Water Safety Instructor, NCAA Division I collegiate swimmer at Miami University of Ohio, and Olympic Trial qualifier.

I offer Competitive Swim Classes at the Davis Family YMCA, and the Tellico Village Wellness Center Sept.- May.  These classes are designed to work on all four competitive strokes: Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle, stroke efficiency to eliminate those frustrating disqualifications, as well as breaststroke pull-downs, flip turns, open turns, individual starts, relay starts, and strong finishes. All classes start run monthly (4 weeks each)through May. Feel free to join us for the entire time, a few months, or take a month off according to your schedule. These classes have evolved into a small winter swim team, The Riptides, and we will compete in an optional swim meet on April 23, 2017, at the Allen Jones Aquatic Center at UT.
Check out our website http://riptides.swim-team.us for info and pictures from our last year's meet!
