Last 10 years of BTIDE Program

The BTIDE program made a huge shift in 1996 when the coaching staff noticed a shift in demographics of Beloit Swimming. Most of the swimmers with the Beloit Aquatic Team lived in Illinois and they were using our facilities and their program was no longer benefiting Beloit swimming. In the late 1990's there were less than 40 kids in Beloit who called themselves swimmers.

Summer of 1996 we started the Learn to Swim like the Purple TIDE swim lesson program, that lasted for many years till about 2010. After many proposals to start a middle school swim team program; in 2000 we started the Middle TIDE swim teams. We had 10 boys and 19 girls on the first teams.  Before the Covid-19 pandemic we had over 90 girls and 40 boys on our middle school teams. Our high school boys and girls teams have grown to over 70 swimmers and divers each year. 

In the summer of 2006 we started the Krueger Summer swim team with 20 swimmers, in less than 5 years we were over 200 swimmers. 2013 the BTIDE USA Swim program started with the opening of the new high school natatorium.

The success of the last two decades has help the TIDE program become a formable force both in the State and Nation, for both school and club swimming. 

We will over come the recent world crisis and Beloit swimming will continue to be a strong program for the youth of the Beloit community.

The team still had a great season with our freshman and other young swimmers taking full advantage of their new opportunities.

We did some pretty amazing swimming for an eight week season, finishing with a dual meet record of two wins and 3 loses. Qualifying 4 swimmers for the WIAA State meet and breaking 6 school Varsity records.
