Payment and registration for any of our branch swim teams can be done online. Teams are broken up into smaller groups based on age or swimming ability. Contact the Swim Team coach or staff at each branch for specific information.
Characteristics of Protists. Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant, animal, or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but some, like algae, are multicellular. Kelp, or 'seaweed,' is a large multicellular protist that provides food, shelter, and oxygen for numerous underwater ecosystems.
Protists are one-celled organisms. Symbiotic protists are protists that live with other larger organisms in a mutually beneficial relationship. The anaerobic parabasalid species of protist is an example. Photosynthetic protists are the protists that process sunlight. The dinoflagellates Noctiluca and Pyrocystis are examples of this type of protist. There are also protists that serve both purposes: they are both symbiotic and photosynthetic. The protists zooxanthellae are an example of this type of protist.
