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.
Fungus-like protists are heterotrophs with cell walls. They also reproduce by forming spores. All fungus-like protists are able to move at some point in their lives. There are essentially three types of fungus-like protists: water molds, downy mildews, and slime molds.rotists can be unicellular or multicellular. Protists can be microscopic or can be over 100 meters (300 feet) long. Some protists are heterotrophs, while others are autotrophs. Since protists vary so much, we will group them into three subcategories: animal-like protists, fungus-like protists, and plant-like protists.
