Ripon Sea Lions Swim Team

Ripon Sea Lions Swim Team Recreational, youth swim team for children between the ages of 5-18. Swimming builds muscle, and tones the entire body.

Our Team Mission

Our mission is to provide the opportunities and means for each athlete to progress to his or her full potential, to instill a dream of excellence, and to promote sportsmanship, responsibility, self-confidence and team unity. We believe that every swimmer is an important part of the team, and that every family’s participation and support is essential to our success. Our Team Goals



We at the Ripon Sea Lions hope that by joining our team, your child will learn about the best that community athletics has to offer. Your child will learn the pride and self satisfaction which comes from learning a new skill and improving at it. Your child’s ultimate competitor is him or herself, and swimming boosts self-esteem by showing results and improvements on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis. At the same time, swimming teaches the best about team sports, and what being on a team is all about. Every race can earn points for a team in a meet, and events like relays bring out speed in swimmers that they themselves didn’t even know they had. Finally, swimming will give your child the best work out possible, in a no-impact environment. And because it happens every day, results are quickly noticeable. We want every child to achieve personal success while building self confidence in a team sports arena, and are working to make that goal a reality.

We hope everyone is excited to get back in the water for the 2026 season!

We are writing to inform you of a slight adjustment to practice times and group assignments. With nearly 180 swimmers this season, we’ve made these changes to better accommodate our growing team and to ensure the safety and quality of each practice.

For clarity, the schedule will reference “1st year swimmers” within an age group. This designation applies only to swimmers who are new to the Sea Lions this season. Returning Sea Lion swimmers, regardless of age, are not considered 1st year swimmers within their age group.

Practice Schedule:
• 5:30 PM – 6:00 PM: 6 & Under and 1st Year 7/8s
• 6:00 PM – 6:30 PM: 7/8s and 1st Year 9/10s
• 6:30 PM – 7:10 PM: 9/10s and 1st Year 11s
• 7:10 PM – 7:50 PM: 11/12s
• 7:50 PM – 8:30 PM: 13+

As a reminder, swimmers must have all required equipment for practice beginning Wednesday, April 1st. There will be no equipment available on the pool deck for swimmers to borrow. If a swimmer does not yet have their equipment, they will not be able to practice until they are able to obtain the required items.
Required equipment includes:

• Fins
• Kickboard
• Swim cap (required for swimmers with long hair)
• Goggles (optional, based on swimmer preference)
• Towel
• One piece swimsuit (Two-piece swimsuits are not allowed)

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we kick off another great season. We are looking forward to a fun, safe, and successful year for all our swimmers.

Our Back to Swim Meeting will take place on March 31st on the pool deck, and we’re excited to welcome everyone as we begin a new season!

This meeting is a great opportunity for families to get a walk-through of the pool, ask any questions, and take care of any last-minute details before the first day of practice.

Please note that every swimmer must order a team suit. We encourage families to prioritize getting fitted to ensure the correct size before practices begin.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone and kicking off a fun and successful swim season together! 🏊‍♂️💙
