Welcome Parents to Des Plaines Swimming In addition to training swimmers, we aim to help educate the parents about swimming and our training methods. Swimming is unlike any other sport. There is TONS of constant repetitious and sometimes boring drill work involved. Unlike other sports, a lot of the focus is individual rather than a team. It offers a unique challenge to parents as well as coaches in addressing the ever-changing needs of the swimmers. USA Swimming offers a HUGE wealth of knowledge for parents. We encourage you to take some time and read the information. If you have any questions, please contact the coaches. Officials The River Racers know proudly announce three officials within our program. Officials are volunteer positions that are necessary to make meets work! All parents are encouraged to get involved. Best part is, on-deck access at meets and other neat registration perks! Illinois Swimming coordinates trainings and it's so easy! Just ask our current River Racer officials for details and more information. Below Tom Alef Bob Van Oost Scott Penland Cyndi Alexander
