We are down to our final weeks of the 2022 Long Course Season! For some of our swimmers, this weekend will be the final meet while many have one or even two more championships to go.
For this weekend's meet at Ensworth, we are trying to get a few more qualifiers on the SES Championship team so keep a close eyes on the swimmers at the top end of the results who may have snuck in.
For others, this weekend is all out about fine tuning our racing strategies and techniques. With over 120 swimmers headed to Huntsville next week, we have swimmers of all ages putting the final touches on a long, hard and successful summer!
USA Swimming uses a ranking system to allow teams to objectively compare their clubs against each other. The scoring system is complex (explained in the link below) but informative. Over the last couple of seasons, we have finished up between 46th and 51st out of the 3,500 clubs in the country. But as of this writing, we are currently sitting 40th!! You can check it all out here.
Announcements
All of our parent volunteers play a vital role in hosting meets. We simply could not host meets in your absence. While most jobs take little training or experience, meet officials go through an educational and training process that enables them to help officiate at all meets. In fact, our own Excel officials have outnumbered the host team officials in both our first two meets. We are very grateful to our officiating crew but are always looking for new members.
