Believe it or not, summer is almost here and we want you on our summer swim team! The EVO Swim School and RIO Salado Swim Club will be joining forces this summer to bring your child the best swim team opportunity in town! EVO customers in the Porpoise, Dolphin, or Advanced classes will have the opportunity to participate with our summer swim team. New customers that can display the very basics of freestyle and backstroke may also participate. EVO swimmers will practice at our indoor facility and represent the RIO Salado Swim Club in 7 different meets throughout June & July. The RIO Salado Swim Club is managed by David Tait, owner of EVO Swim School, so you can expect the same great organization and service from this summer program.

The RIO Salado Swim Club is a member of the East Valley Swim League. We will participate in 7 different swim meets throughout the season against teams like the City of Chandler Dolphins, City of Tempe and many others. Your child will be taught by experienced year-round coaches who offer professional instruction on stroke technique, starts and turns. You will also notice the difference of being involved with a professionally organized program that is interested in serving both the swimmer and the parent. Below are all the details.

This is Kayla Campbell, age 6.  She is now a graduate of the Sea Lion class!  We asked Kayla what she worked the most on in her class and she said, “kicking and keeping my head down - Lorraine was always talking about that for some reason?!”  Lorraine, the class instructor, said that Kayla has a wonderful spirit about her and she always came to class determined to do her best.  Congratulations Kayla!

This is Zachary McConnell, age 4.  He just graduated from the Otter class at EVO Swim School.  When asked what he liked most about the class he said, “kicking on the barbell”.  His kicking paid off when he tested so well and is now able to swim independently in the water.  Zachary’s instructor, Jennifer, said, “I am proud of Zachary for working hard.  Once his confidence grew he really starting progressing well.”  Congratulations Zachary!

This is Shelby Bell, age 7, and Britley Bell, age 4.  They are sisters both taking lessons at the same time.  Shelby just graduated from the Porpoise class while Britley just graduated from the Otter class.  Shelby said she really liked the challenge of trying to swim across the pool in 12 seconds (a requirement for the class).  Britley said her favorite thing about the class was riding the boats at the end of each lesson.  Both girls did a great job and as luck would have it, both passed off their evaluations on the same day!  Congratulations Shelby & Britley!

This is Gavin Magee, age 9. He has just passed off the requirements of the Sea Lion class and will be moving on to the Porpoise level. His instructor Lorraine said that Gavin was up for the challenge and moved through the class skills quickly.  She said, “Gavin is going to be a SUPERSTAR in the Porpoise class!” When asked what his favorite part of the class was Gavin said, “kicking with the barbell”. Congratulations Gavin!
