Aquatics

The RSOP Aquatics program is very popular with people of all ages. We pride ourselves on a high quality pool environment and an outstanding instructional program. Come to work out, learn, and enjoy the experience. The mission of the RSOP Aquatics program is to help each person learn to be safe when they are in, on, or around the water! Our swim lesson program covers skills and knowledge in a logical progression for each level of aquatic skill development. As participants develop these skills, they will become safer, stronger swimmers.
