9:00–10:30 AM

This is our starting schedule for RCAM. As the group grows we'll add sessions — if a different day or time would get you in the water more often, let a coach know.

📍 Cape Girardeau Aquatic Center · 1920 Whitener St., Cape Girardeau, MO 63701
Cape Girardeau Aquatic Center — competition pool from the diving well Cape Girardeau Aquatic Center — starting blocks on the pool deck Cape Girardeau Aquatic Center — diving platforms

Where we train — the Cape Girardeau Aquatic Center.

Visiting Swimmers Welcome

Traveling through Cape Girardeau or just visiting family? RCAM swimmers from other USMS clubs — and anyone checking us out for the first time — are welcome to swim any listed practice.

Visitor day rate: $12/practice — the same as our single-practice rate for locals. We want you to feel like part of the team for the day, not like a guest we're charging extra. Your first visit with us is always free — see Pricing for details.

Recommended Equipment

You don't need much to get started — a suit, cap, and goggles will get you through your first practice. As you settle in, most swimmers add a few extras to round out their bag:

  • Swim cap & goggles — bring your own; we don't provide these on deck.
  • Short fins — short-blade training fins.
  • Kickboard — for kick sets and technique work.
  • Pull buoy — for pull sets and upper-body focus.
  • Paddles — optional, useful once you're comfortable with technique.

We've set up a team store with SwimOutlet so you can get everything — suits, caps, and gear — in one place.
