This weekend, I'll be in Knoxville supporting all of our High School State swimmers. While this isn't an Excel Aquatics meet, it's a really important championship for our swimmers.

This past week, our coaches spoke at 3 different signing ceremonies at local high schools and it made us all appreciate the role that we play in supporting school swim teams. School teams of course are made up of a majority of non year-round swimmers so those coaches do a fantastic job of introducing new swimmers to the sport. The hard work that they do is made a little easier by the fact that we take care of their club swimmers for them. The result is an incredible school swimming experience for the whole team and the Excel Staff is so honored to play a part in providing that.
