Swim Options
Baraboo Riptide offers two options for swimmers
Any swimmer wanting to join the team must be able to swim 25 yards on their own with no assistance from another individual or device (such as a life jacket) and have passed level 3 swim lessons.

Practice options are available for 1 or 2 nights a week. The swim clinic is optional but in order to participate in the swim clinic you must register to join the team.
