About Rascals
Welcome to Ripley Amateur Swimming Club and Lifesaving (RASCALS).
Our club offers training for aspiring and experienced athletes in both the Competitive Swimming and Lifesaving disciplines.
Our comprehensive Swimming programme teaches & develops strokes and competitive skill techniques, starting in our Learn to Swim section right through to our Competitive Squads section.
Our Lifesaving programmes teach pool lifesaving and beach competition techniques right through from Rookie Lifesaving up to Competitive Senior Squads.
RASCALS provides both disciplines with plentiful opportunities to achieve, regularly competing in Open Meets, Team Galas and Championships from County levels right through to National and even International levels, all following the guidance of the respective Governing Bodies (Swim England; RLSS & Surf GB) pathways.
Over the years our Swimmers have reached GB Olympic & World Championship teams and our Lifesavers have reached the GB team for the Lifesaving World Championships – demonstrating the success the respective disciplines have had and continue to have on developing our members into Top Class athletes.
