Rec PM

This page is for the Cruisers Summer Swim Team that practices at the CR Rec Center in the afternoon/evenings. Our team name is the Manta Rays, as voted by the kids. Across the season, practices focus on the four competitive strokes, starts, flip turns, and meet readiness.

Dual meets will be held at Butterfield Crossing Pool, with a meet each Saturday. This structure keeps the season organized while still preserving the fun, family-centered feel that has defined Cruisers in past summers.

The program is designed for the following swimmers and families:

• Youth swimmers ages 6-18 who want a recreational team experience with structured coaching and measurable improvement.
• Participants who can already swim one continuous pool length using either freestyle or backstroke.
• Families who value the ability to select a practice time and location that works well with summer schedules.
• Swimmers who benefit from age-based practice grouping and a positive, inclusive team environment.
• Athletes seeking both skill development and the excitement of swim meets, team spirit, and community events.

Swim meets remain at Butterfield Crossing Pool. Meets will start at 8am (warm ups at 7am) and run until approximately 12pm. Each team has five meets, the pentathlon, 2 fun meets, and championships.
