Sponsors Information about RAM

Raleigh Area Masters (RAM) Swimming is the one of the largest adult swimming program in North Carolina, under the sanction of North Carolina Masters Swimming, a component of United States Masters Swimming (USMS). RAM is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Donations to RAM are tax deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law.

WHO ARE WE?

RAM athletes include competitive swimmers, triathletes, and fitness swimmers of all ages and skill level. USMS Certified coaches lead structured RAM practices seven days a week, including morning and evening practices. In the past few years, RAM athletes led the NC Masters team to the Masters short-course and long-course National Championship. Several RAM athletes hold world records in their respective age groups, and many rank #1 in the annual US Masters tabulation of All-Americans including a United States Olympic Trials Qualifier. RAM Triathletes have won overall championships and relay championships at regional events.

However, it is not just the competitive athlete who benefits from RAM coaching. RAM sponsors and staffs stroke clinics for people of all ages and abilities several times yearly. In addition, RAM athletes volunteer their time as coaches for swim teams in and around Raleigh. Since RAM is a volunteer organization, RAM athletes serve countless hours of their time helping swimmers

RAM has hosted the North Carolina State Championship for a number of years. This is a major effort which attracts over 200+ swimmers across NC and surrounding states. This is an incredible opportunity to showcase our great city to visiting swimmers. Despite many hours of volunteers' time, this swim meet is expensive for RAM. Pool rental and timing equipment alone for the two day meet runs in the thousands of dollars. Custom awards and social programs add to the expense, but are very much appreciated by Masters athletes from across the state. The mayor, and other elected officials have written letters of welcome for the meet program. Due to the quality of the meet, Masters athletes from the southeastern US routinely travel to the Triangle for this event.
