Sun Mar 8

RIMA Swim League Championship
University of Massachusetts Dartmouth


See information attached for times, and volunteer requirements

RIMA CHAMPIONSHIPS:

  • The Rip-Tides compete against other teams in the league at a Natatorium in Dartmouth, Mass. This is a phenomenal opportunity to get the swimmers the privilege to compete at a College pool, cheer on their teammates, win awards, and most of all, have fun!!
  • The RIMA Championship meet is mandatory for all members of the swim team. It is important for our team to come together and support each other at the biggest competition in our league
  • Attendance at three Boys & Girls Club league meets are required to be eligible to participate in the mandatory RIMA championships

WHY THIS MEET MATTERS

Open to Everyone:
There are no qualifying times, so every swimmer has the opportunity to compete. This is our chance to bring the entire team together and celebrate everything we’ve accomplished as one group.

Final Opportunity for Best Times:
This is the last meet of the season — your final chance to achieve new personal bests and highlight all the effort, dedication, and progress you’ve made.

Celebrating Our Team:
It’s a moment to look back on our season, recognize how far we’ve come, and appreciate the teamwork and camaraderie that have made us one of the league’s most respected and competitive teams.

We’re excited to finish the season strong and create lasting memories together. Let’s come together, race with heart, and celebrate the pride of being part of the Rip-Tides Swim Team family!
