Welcome to the 2011 Season!
Our staff has been working very hard in the off-season to make Roton Point aquatics one of the best programs in Fairfield County. This past winter, we hired a new aquatics director, Rob Trifone, who has been meeting with the staff to improve and expand our aquatics offerings. You will see many new lesson programs this coming season with offerings ranging in age from 4- and  5-year-olds (Nemo program) to stroke technique lessons for swim team members who want to work on perfecting their stroke. The expanded offerings include weekend clinics as well to work on starts and turns. The lifeguard and coaching staff look forward to a great summer in 2011!
Due to overwhelming demand, we have added an additional time slot to our Swim lesson program
Crush 8 & 9 Year olds  new time slot from 2:30- 3:00 PM
Nemo 4&5 year olds new time slot from 2:30-3:00 PM
Dory 6&7 year olds new time slot from 2:30-3:00 PM
Roton Point Swim Team & Swim Lesson Information
The Diving Team consists of children from 7-17 years of age. Practice begins on June 20th. Practice occurs from 8:45-9:45 AM 13 & Up, 9:45-10:45 AM 12 and Under. The competitive team consists of experienced divers that can perform the dives needed for the competition in their age groups.
Water Polo Team: The Water Polo team this year will focus on building fundamental skills, as well as preparing the teams to be competitive with other clubs in the FCSL. The team is open to children between 8 and 17 years old that can swim one length of the pool, as well as tread water for 5 minutes. Practices are held 4 days a week, Monday through Wednesdays  12:30-1:30 PM, On Thursdays practice will be 6- 7 PM (No 12:30 practice on Thursdays).
Lobster Tails Swim Team: The Lobster Tails swim program is designed to act as a feeder program for the Rock Lobsters swim team. Participants are between 5 and 9 years of age and must be able to swim one length of the pool unassisted. Practices are Monday through Friday from 10:30 till 11:15 and there are at least two Lobster Tails only swim meets. The program will run from the swim team pre-season practices (see above) until August 3rd. Practice will focus on stroke development and racing techniques, it is not swim lessons. The Lobster Tails will be able to practice and participate with the Rock Lobsters swim team by coach’s invitation. If your child participates in Hobie Camp they will be escorted by a counselor to and from practice during the hours of camp. Hobie campers that are chosen for the Rock Lobsters swim team will practice with the Lobster Tails. Decisions on which team your child should be a part of will be made by the coaches at the pre-season practices. All Lobster Tail participants are welcome to sign up for additional swim lesson programs that are offered 4 days/week from 1:30-2 PM. Dory (6 & 7 year olds) and Crush (8 & 9 year olds) will have one coach/6 swimmers and the participants will be taught the proper techniques for freestyle, backstroke, (as well as butterfly and breaststroke for the more advanced swimmers), block starts & finishes. Space is limited because of the 6 to 1 coach to swimmer ratio.
Swim meets and related events are run by Roton Point volunteers. Your help is needed and would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Karen or Stacy.
During Swim & Water Polo Meets some or all pools may be closed.
