J. FRED CORRIHER, JR. YMCA

RAC swimmers at South Rowan have the opportunity to develop technique from beginning swimmer levels to High School participant levels. South Rowan offers RAC swimming from September - May. All swimmers must be active members of the Rowan-Cabarrus YMCA.
 
RAC South swimmers focus on stroke technique, team swimming skills and gradually developing training capacity in accordance with the USA Swimming American Development Model levels 1-3.
