The Dayton Raiders were selected as the #16 small team age group program by the American Swim Coaches Association.

The Raiders were the only team in the Dayton area named to the list, and one of only 3 teams in Ohio to make a list. Congratulations to our Dayton Raiders swimmers and staff!

A huge thanks to Olympian and Silver Medalist Rhyan White for swimming with SR1/2 practice and speaking with a few of our training groups! She shared her journey in swimming and some wisdom for aspiring younger swimmers. I’ve got a feeling our swimmers are going to commit to underwater kicking a little more now! We encourage you to follow along Rhyan’s pro career as she trains with Wolfpack Elite at NC State.

Congratulations to the Class of 2024 from the Dayton Raiders. As we enter July, these seniors are soon off to their next steps at College. We'd like to thank them, and their families, for all of their time and effort over the years into making the Dayton Raider the team that it is. If you see them around the DRAC, wish them luck in their next steps!

Here is a treat for all swimming enthusiasts! We have stumbled onto a real treasure - the original, yellow-tattered journals from the Dayton Raiders (Dolphins) founder Coach "Mac" Preston. Coach Preston passed away in Georgia in 2004. However, his daughter, Ammee Burgess, found these Gem City Classics and tracked us down. We thank Aimee from the bottom of our hearts for not letting these go! Today's electronic capabilities allow us to keep these journals alive forever. A special thanks goes out to former Raider parent Randy Shively and current Raider...
