PARRISH, Fla. --- The Harrison Ranch Rip Tides expect to come away with more than a handful of medals from the Sun Coast Swim League Championship July 29 at G.T. Bray Aquatics Center in Bradenton.
Rip Tides coach Amanda Hatcher said six teams will compete in the championship meet, which starts at 3 p.m., and she hopes the Rip Tides’ 35 swimmers will place in as many as 30 events.
“We have a fantastic team and they have had an amazing season so far,” Hatcher said.
The team, composed of swimmers age 5 to 15 who live in Parrish and Palmetto, practices at the junior Olympic-size community swimming pool at Harrison Ranch twice a week.
“Our kids’ parents are very hands-on with the swim team,” Hatcher said. One parent---Mike Loefgren of Harrison Ranch---was named assistant coach.
Hatcher said the young swimmers work hard, and the Harrison Ranch swim program focuses on developing athletic abilities along with personal skills.
One standout---five-year old Olivia---started the season as a shy wallflower.
“Now Olivia is placing in 90 percent of her events and she’s really come out of her shell,” Hatcher said.
Hatcher said more than a dozen Rip Tides swimmers regularly place in their events.
