Eligibility

The county mandated minimum age to swim in a meet is 5 years old.   All swimmers must be able to swim the length of the pool unassisted to be in a meet. 

Age groups are as follows:  5 & 6, 8 & under, 10 & under, 11-12, 13-14, and 15-18.  The age group is determined by the swimmer's age on May 31, 2025.

Swimmers should be familiar with the four strokes (freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke), but they need not be proficient.  (5 & 6 year olds only swim freestyle and backstroke) 

Coaches will work with the swimmers to improve their strokes, starts, and turns. They will offer stroke clinics to swimmers desiring more individual attention for a small additional fee.  However, if you think your swimmer needs swimming lessons, you may want to call the YMCA, Swim Atlanta, or the Cobb Aquatic Center.

Practices

Practice days are Monday through Friday beginning MONDAY, May 12 FOR ALL GROUPS.  Morning practices begin Thursday, May 22.  Ribbons and donuts will be the morning after the swim meets.  Please encourage your swimmer(s) to attend as many practices as possible!

Communication

ALL COMMUNICATION WILL BE BY EMAIL and through REMIND. Watch your email for weekly team news and updates on swim meets.  In the past, we’ve had to cancel or delay meets at the last minute due to the weather, and e-mail is the most effective way to get information out!

Volunteer Sign Up

Our swim team is completely dependent on volunteers.  Every family is expected to work ½ of every meet they participate in.  Please review the additional volunteer information sheet and indicate on the registration form your volunteer position(s) of choice.
