Congratulations 2026 Riverwood Rays!
Congratulations to all Riverwood Rays participants this summer. It was an exciting season for all.
What a season! We participated in division 5 and swam away with a 5-1 record taking home the divisional trophy and placing in top 10 at the TSA Championship meet thanks to the hard work and dedication of our swimmers. The team improved across the board and have made the coaching staff, their parents, and the Riverwood Community so proud.
– Thank you from HLSA and the Rays!

Many parents volunteered time and money to make this season and this banquet the best it could be! From Monique Jiggets with tables, decorations, and set up, to Christy Davis and Kristen Glanzmann for organizing and picking up the food, to the parents who stepped in to serve the food, and every other parent bringing drinks, desserts and sides that were enjoyed by all!
We are so proud of all our swimmers and their performances this year. I want to personally thank all the parent volunteers for donating their time while at the swim meets to make sure those meets ran smoothly. We are also very thankful for our amazing TSA Reps in Makenzie Yarborough, Christy Davis and Kristen Glanzmann who helped with team to team communication, working with our team computer programs to keep the meet running smoothly and on time and the programs for the swimmers to strengthen the relationships between swimmers to allow our team to grow into the family it is today.
We hope everyone has a great off season and we can’t wait to see each and every one of our swimmers next summer for another amazing Rays’ season!
Swimmingly,
Head Coach Andrew Johnson
Asst. Head Coach Jonathan Raynor
Asst. Coach Sonia Hunt
Asst. Coach Ryan Pittman
