2025 Riptides Registration

Welcome to the Riss Lake Riptides Electronic Registration for the Summer 2025 swim season.  This season marks the 25th anniversary for the Riptides and we have many fun things in store to celebrate!

The process is simple for both new and returning members. You'll get access to your own private account that will enable you easily declare for swim meets, sign-up for jobs, see your children's swim times histories, maintain your contact information, and more.

Registration fees:

  • $225 for 1st registered swimmer
  • $200 for all additional swimmers per family
  • $40 Non-Resident fee for families that do not live in Riss Lake

Fee breakdown:

  • $163/$138 per swimmer team fee (Paid at checkout)
  • $12 per swimmer Northland Swim Conference fee (Paid at checkout)
  • $50 per swimmer USA Swimming membership fee (Paid directly to USA swimming separately)
  • USA swimming fees do not apply to current year round club swimmers that have already paid these through their club teams, but they must provide a copy of their current active membership card

ALL ABOVE FEES APPLY TO ALL SWIMMERS REGISTERED WITH THE TEAM - INCLUDING LITTLE RIPPLES.

 USA Swimming is now requiring that all families pay dues directly to USA Swimming and set up their own USA Swim account.   Upon completion of this registration with you will receive a follow up email confirmation that will also contain information on how to register your swimmer with USA Swimming (and set up an account if needed) and pay the remaining $50.  Year-round club swimmers will have already paid these dues through their club teams and will only need to send  a screenshot of the current membership card.

We look forward to having you join the Riss Lake Riptides and are excited for another great season!

VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT

Swim meets are run solely by volunteers, and it can take up to 65 volunteers to run a meet. Most volunteer shifts are approximately one half of the meet (2-3 hours). Each volunteer position is critical to running a successful meet. We provide volunteers for both home and away meets. Additionally, we ask for volunteer parents to help out at some of our other team functions such as the end of season banquet or Little Ripple Lollipop Races.

The total number of volunteer shifts each family will be required to fill will be based on the teams final registration numbers but is typically 4-6 shifts throughout the regular meet season.

Additionally, if you have a swimmer that swims in the Northland Conference Championship meet, you will be required to volunteer for one of our assigned team shifts.

We understand that this is a time commitment and that you may have more than one child/swimmer you are responsible for. We promise you are not the first family to experience this and encourage you to reach out to other parents to problem solve in order to fulfill your volunteer requirements.

Riptides have great families that give their time and energy to the team and their swimmers. Volunteering for the meets shows that you are investing your own time in something that matters to your swimmer. Plus, you can meet other swim families and learn more about the sport.

Beginning 2024 season, we will be implementing fines for families that fail to fulfill their volunteer commitment. Prior to the start of the season, you will be required to select all your volunteer shift obligations before you child is eligible to swim in a meet.

If you find you are unable to fulfill one of the shifts you selected, it is up to you to find a replacement and communicate with the volunteer coordinator the changes. If a volunteer does not show for a position, then a $100 fine will be implemented for that shift. The fine will need to be paid to the team before the swimmer is allowed to participate in future meets. If a volunteer does not show for a position at the Northland Conference meet, then a $250 fine will be implemented for that shift.

Families with outstanding fines for unfulfilled obligations will not be allowed to register for the subsequent year until payment is made.

RISS LAKE ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY

In an effort to make Riss Lake summer swimming an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all participants, the Riptide Board has implemented a Zero Tolerance Policy relating to sportsmanship. The policy is designed to require all swimmer, coaches, officials, volunteers and parents/spectators to maintain a sportsmanlike and pleasant atmosphere before, during and after all practices and meets, as well as during the swim season when practice and meets are not occurring.

Thus, the following points of emphasis will be enforced for all participants:

Per USA Swimming Rules, usage of tobacco products, consumption of alcohol, or other regulated substance is strictly prohibited at all sanctioned events. This includes all meets including crash areas.

A swimmer, coach, official, volunteer and parent/spectator will receive ONE warning. If the action persists, a penalty of immediate removal from the swim practice or swim meet will occur whenever he/she:

* Openly disputes or argues with any decision made by a coach or official

* Uses obscene or vulgar language at any time, including swearing, even if not directed at a particular person

* Harasses, taunts, ridicules or threatens any other swimmer, coach, official, parent or spectator including those on the opposing team.

* Engages in any dangerous or rambunctious behavior as defined by Northland Conference.
