Our  SWIMSUIT webstore is now open!   Here is the link:  2024 RBG SWIM TEAM GEAR (items non-refundable) – BSAswimshop
 
Important: Every swimmer needs an official team suit to participate in the meets.  Parents are responsible for ordering an official team suit for their swimmer(s) and the price is not included in the registration fee.
 
Sizing suits are available at Bakersfield Swim Academy on Allen Road (3311 Allen Road).  You may try on suits Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.  Be aware that afternoons are busy for their staff so please be patient.  We have scheduled one designated Saturday where additional staff will be on hand to help streamline the process.  That date is  March 23rd from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.   Your swimmer must be dry to try on the sizing suits.
 
After purchasing, suits  cannot be returned or exchanged so please be sure you have ordered the correct size suit for your swimmer. If you are needing to order a 2nd suit due to having ordered the wrong size, there will be an additional cost added to the cost of the suit.   (see below re: ordering deadline)
 
Our 1st team suit ordering  deadline is April 3rd.  After that date, an  additional cost of $10 per suit will be added.  Please be sure to order ASAP to avoid that increased cost and to ensure you will have your suit(s) in time for our first meet.
 
Information on distribution will be forthcoming as soon as that first order has been received in the mail.
 
If you have any questions, feel free to email  [email protected].
 
 

Orientation Dinner

Each year we have a night to open the season. Spagetti dinner will be provided and Head Coach will share a bit about the new season and you will have an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

 

Swim Test

Each swimmer that participates with us must complete a swim test to ensure they can swim the length of the pool safely and successfully. This is typically designed for the younger or less experienced swimmers. If you are new to the team but your childern has participated on other teams or you are sure they will have no problem with the length they do not need to complete the swim test.

 

Summer Practice

We will release the spots on May 13th. Here is the schedule

 

As always, let us know if you have any questions.
