About

The Arcadia Riptides Swim Club is one of the oldest, active swim clubs in Southern California.  A tradition of team pride and personal excellence started in 1965, by Arcadia High School's Hall of Fame Coach Ray Peterson. 

During his tenure as the Varsity Swimming and Water Polo coach, his teams won multiple Pacific League titles and CIF Championships.  His contributions to the swimming community extended to the Riptides as well as the City of Arcadia.

Today the tradition continues with swimmers who have not only excelled in the water but in their communities as responsible citizens and exceptional student athletes.
 
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is governed by a Board of Directors who are committed to providing a safe, fun, and fair experience where children can learn the values of sportsmanship, goal setting, and friends for life.
