Huge congratulations goes out to 11-year-old Rowdy Rapid, Tyler McDaniel, who broke the Ashland Barracudas 50 backstroke record and tied the 50 freestyle record. Tyler worked his tail off this season with Coach Ashley and the Age Groupers, making himself one of the fastest swimmers in the state, even at a young age.

Congratulations on your club records and keep up the great work! Rise Up!!

Promise made, promise kept! Coach Ashley offered any swimmer who won Age Group Champs the opportunity to push her in the pool. Well, needless to say, she got wet a lot of times after the dominating meet the SwimRVA 10 & unders had. One of those moments was captured as Shae Spradling gave Coach Ashley a nice dip in the pool. Great work Shae, Coach Ashley and all our Rapids who swam great at Age Group Champs!

🚨 Summer Junior Nationals Qualifier 🚨

After narrowly missing her Summer Junior National qualifying time in the 50 backstroke by mere hundredths of a second multiple times, Kylee Crotts has officially done it! Her 1:04.22 in the 100m backstroke makes her the fourth SwimRVA athlete to join this elite group that will be heading to Irvine, California this summer. Congratulations on all of the hard work you have put in to making this a reality! 👏💙

Now go home and rest! 😅😅
