McCallie/GPS and Chattahoochee Gold Meets
McCallie/GPS and Chattahoochee Gold Meets
Congratulations to all of our swimmers who competed in both the Chattahoochee Gold and McCallie/GPS! Both meets had lots to be proud of.
McCallie/GPS- We had a small group of 12 and under swimmers who swam over 70% lifetime best races and brought home two more SES A Qualifying times.
Chattahoochee Gold- We had 40 swimmers (mostly 13 and over) that raced extremely well. Excel brought home 6 events wins (by 5 different swimmers), had 7 new SES A Qualifying times and one new NCSA Junior Cut.
Congratulations to Lyndel Laundencia for earning her spot on the 2023 SES Short Course Championship Team and Gracen Bailey for earning her spot on the National Team!
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! However, as a cautionary note, HSA hasn't yet swum a full meet and we expect that when they do, they will be challenging us in a few categories.

Millers Thrillers
Millers Thrillers
Every year during October, Excel Aquatics takes a terrifying tour of the haunted woods at Miller's Thrillers. The 45 minutes walk through the private farmland near Spring Hill never ceases to deliver. This year, we will be meeting at Miller Thrillers tonight at 8:00pm. No need to sign up through us, simply buy your own tickets here . Make sure you buy the Haunted Woods Tour with Slash Pass. Doing so will save you potentially 2 hours of wait time. All swimmers who are 13 and over, and any friends and family, are welcome to join us. See you there!

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.
