After a 5 week pause, our swimmers are hitting the road for our first of 2 May meets. With only 78 swimmers, our smaller group is still looking to make a big impact. Comprised mostly of swimmers who are still looking for their first SES A cut, we expect to see new members added to the SES roster while other swimmers will be hitting new USA Swimming motivational time standards.
Regardless of the cuts achieved, the big story will be individual time drops. As we are in a new (to us) and very fast pool, keep an eye on swimmers hitting best times in EVERY event.
Finally, the headline of all is that we get to spend time with our Excel moms on Mother's Day weekend! To help us celebrate Mother's Day, please send a mom/swimmer selfie to 904.735.7417 and we'll get it posted!
As we approach our heavy training load of the summer schedule, we may experience some temporary muscle soreness. For recovery strategies, check out this article on Swimgstrongdryland.com!
USA Swimming's Virtual Club Championships
The USA Swimming Long Course VCC rankings are up! As you know, our National Rankings are something that we track closely and you can too! Check out our season as it progresses. Check here for updates.
Over the course of the new long 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.

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. Meet officials
