The GALEX ultraviolet survey has serendipitously obtained complete FUV (1350-1800A) and NUV (1800-2800A) light curves of several RR Lyrae stars, such as HL Her and SDSS J105622.2+570520.6 . Using visible photometry (obtained at the Lick Observatory) together with the GALEX UV data we compare these light curves with predictions based on Kurucz stellar atmosphere models. A FUV variation of 6.5 stellar magnitudes in SW Aqr is consistent with theoretical predictions based on the published metallicity of this star.
