This site is now a historical record of all the young athletes of RST who worked hard everyday to attain their goals. Due to forces out of our control, the Riverside Swim Team has been shut down. We are deeply saddened by this, but are fortunate to have these videos to remember this special team which graced the pool decks of Lafayette , Louisiana.
We are particularly thankful for the passion and dedication of (Coach) Dr Wendel Gatch who made these memories possible for the families and athletes of Riverside. This team which he founded back in 1985 has been the source of countless memories for generations.
