It is that time of year again to decide whether you would like your swimmer to participate in the ASA Championship meet at Georgia Tech that will be held on Friday, June 30th at 4:00 PM. This is an OPTIONAL event, but we would love to take a large group of swimmers down this year. This is a great way for your swimmer to gain experience in an Olympic size pool and compete with summer swimmers all around Metro Atlanta. Also, your swimmer gets to pick ANY two events they would like to swim, so they can pick their favorites! We need to know how many swimmers are interested in participating by Tuesday, June 13th. You can declare for the Championship Meet on our website at the link below. There is a $45 per swimmer cost associated that must be paid by Friday, June 23rd. Please let us know if you have any questions and make sure to declare one way or the other!
