This upcoming week, we will be hosting our annual Meet of Champions at the Brentwood ISC. This year, we’re adding a little twist by bringing on Beaman Toyota as our naming sponsor and their goal is to help provide the absolute best experience for our swimmers and spectators.
In fact, Excel Aquatics is based on the foundation of partnerships, lots and lots of them. A huge piece of our recent success has come because of the partnership between our 4 different sites, our large coaching staff but perhaps most importantly, between our staff and you, the families who entrust the swimming career of their children with us.
Every day on the deck, I am reminded of the incredible honor bestowed upon me, to be a part of these young athlete’s lives. That partnership between coaches and families isn’t always flawless but step #1 is communication. Through these newsletters, weekly update videos, cheat sheets, opt-in texts, and emails, we want to make sure that you all have the information that you need.
Buckle up this weekend, the Beaman Toyota Meet of Champs will be a great one. Thank you to all of our partners, corporate or otherwise, for working together to provide so many successful swimming careers!

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.
