Rolling Forest Tidal Waves

Rolling Forest Swim Team (RFST) is a member of the Northern Virginia Swim League (NVSL), a summer swim league founded in 1956 to sponsor competitive swimming in and among the community swimming pools in Northern Virginia.  RFST helps kids and teens improve their technique and build strong bonds with their teammates under the direction of a head coach and assistant coaches.  Swimmers work together at practices, encourage each other at meets, and have a blast at team social events throughout the summer. Our swimmers participate in both the competitive and developmental swim meets. There are five competitive or “A” meets, four developmental or “B” meets, as well as a Relay Carnival, and Divisionals.

Goals for Summer Swim Team are to:

• Encourage and promote swimming
• Improve strokes and techniques
• Promote good sportsmanship
• Build self-esteem.
• Develop and foster friendships and team unity through activities that increase team spirit
• Encourage greater team involvement by older swimmers ages 12-18
• Love the sport of swimming!

Who can participate?
Rolling Forest Pool members between the ages of 4 and 18 years are welcome to become Rolling Forest Tidal Waves. They must be able to swim the length of a 25-yard pool to compete in meets.
