The registration fee also includes a $3 per athlete technology fee and $5 scholarship fee. Credit Card fees will apply for registrationif you prefer to avoid those fees, please pay by check (payable to VR Riptide) and deliver to Michele Nichols at 6489 Gristmill Square Lane.

Swim Suit Included You can go get sized for suits at Cassel's as soon as you register. You will need to remember your suit size and fill out the link on our Spirit Wear, Suits and Caps tab. Suits will be bulk ordered and delivered to you by practices if you order before May 10. We will send a list of registered swimmer's to Cassel's and update them with a new list each week. Cassel's is located at 4115 Pleasant Valley Rd., Suit #500, Chantilly, VA 20151.

  • New Families - the team suit is not required to be worn for practices. Team suits must be worn for meets. However, lots of swimmers like to wear their team suit for practices too and for the boys wearing a jammer to practice is helpful vs swim trunks. You can buy practice suits at Cassel's, wear the team suit, or other suit you own for practices.

Multi-Swimmer Discount

Families with multiple swimmers will pay full price for the first swimmer and receive $10 off for each additional swimmer. (Ensure you select the Multi swimmer discount checkbox and register all athletes at the same time to receive the discount.)

Other equipment needed for practices

  • Fins – you can purchase at Cassel’s. We will have a bin at practice of old fins that can be borrowed or purchased for $5 (sizes are random and just whatever was left behind in previous seasons)
  • Goggles
  • Caps – these are not required for practice, but some swimmers like to wear them. Team caps will be sold on the site and if your swimmer wears a cap, only the team cap can be worn at meets. 

We look forward to having you join the Virginia Run Riptide and are excited for another great season!
