Welcome to a new year of RATTLER SWIM CLUB!  Thank you for being part of our great organization.  Without your individual participation, work ethic, commitment, and volunteerism, we wouldn't be able to offer the great programming we have currently.  

We are all excited to kick off another season. This year we look forward to continued growth, and hiring additional staff, so your children get the high level of coaching that Rattler has a reputation for. 

From a coaching perspective, we have a unified philosophy of attention to detail with both stroke technique and training.  We continue to strive to help each swimmer become the best PERSON they can be.  The success rate is obvious when we look proudly at our many successful alumni.

The month of September is when we open our registration to returning swimmers and welcome new members to the team.  There are several key items that we would like to point out:

1. Annual Family Registration Fee is $100 and includes a team t-shirt and swim cap for every swimmer
2. All swimmers are required to have a USA Swimming Membership.  Starting this year, this will be handled by you via a new USA Swimming process and paid directly to USA Swimming.  As in the past, there are several different levels of members:
   1. FLEX
