HO HO HO 10 & Under Invite
HO HO HO 10 & Under Invite
Congratulations to all our 10 and Under Swimmers who swam in the Ho Ho Ho Invite this weekend. The enthusiasm that our youngest swimmers bring to the program is staggering. Our Excel swimmers looked dominant in all events but especially in the longer events. The 200 IM, 200 Free and 100s of the strokes were where our swimmers really shine. Such a great way to see the future of Excel Aquatics!
A huge thank you to our volunteers for all their efforts. Shepherding that many young swimmers is never easy but through the efforts of parents (from all teams) officials and even older Excel swimmers, we were able to get 260 young athletes through the meet in just over two hours.
Excel Recognition Programs
Excel Recognition Programs
Over the course of the short course season, our club will be tracking a series of recognition programs to help motivate our swimmers to succeed un a multitude of events. While ultimately these programs do reward success, they are designed to be achievable by any level of swimmers, not just those with the most experience. You can always find the running totals for each at the bottom of the Excel Extras.
IM Tough (8 and Under): Successfully complete the 50 Fly, 50 Back, 50 Breast, 200 Free and 200 IM in a meet before the end of the short course season or their 9th birthday (whichever comes first) to win an "IM TOUGH" T-shirt.
IM Tough (9-10): Successfully complete the 100 Fly, 100 Back, 100 Breast, 200 Free, 500 Free and 200 IM in a meet before the end of the short course season or their 11th birthday (whichever comes first) to win an "IM TOUGH" T-shirt.
Heat Winner: Place in the top three swimmers in your age group for number of races won throughout the year. This award to favor those athletes that are attending meets, swimming lots of events, racing hard but most importantly, improving throughout the year. Winners will receive a "Heat Winner" bag tag.
IM Hall of Fame Level 1- Attain a Southeastern Championship Qualifying time standard in every event available for your age group.
IM Hall of Fame Level 2- Attain an Age Group Sectionals Championship Qualifying time standard in every event available for your age group.

Any family that has been with us for even one season will know that we love to use USA Swimming's Virtual Club Rankings as a way to track our progress within the Southeastern Conference but also against our competition on the national level. However, due to the new registration system at USA Swimming, they are unable to produce those rankings at this moment. Thankfully, we have another place to look at in the meantime.
SwimCloud.com is a website that ranks swim teams, both as a whole team and by age groups. Once on there, you can filter the rankings by gender and age group, and even by event. As you can see, Excel Aquatics is doing very well!

Want to become an official?
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.
