The 2022 TNAQ Fall Invite was another big meet for our team. With just over 230 swimmers traveling to Knoxville, we ended up winning over 50 events across all age groups while racing two of the top teams in the Southeastern Conference. TNAQ and HSA have seen substantial growth this season so competing well against them is always a good sign.

We set 4 new team records, a new Future's cut and piles of new Age Group Sectional and Southeastern cuts. Most importantly though, our team attitude was one of aggression in the pool, excitement in stands and supportive on the deck.

As always, we were represented well in the officiating crew as once again, our Excel officials took their show on the road and were there to support our host team.
Thanks so much to our hosts TNAQ for putting on a great meet!

The Special Olympic Swim Team that practices at the ISC is looking for high school aged swimmers to volunteer as coaches.

Founded in 1968, the Special Olympics has provided millions of competitive opportunities for athletes who otherwise be unable to participate in sports.

Swimming has been such an important part of so many of our lives, here's an opportunity to make that happen for someone else.

Practices are 11:30-12:30pm on Saturdays. If you are interested, please use the following link:

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

• Ensure a safe and fair competition for all our athletes

• Satisfy all their volunteer requirements

• Have the best seat in the pool

• Have access to hospitality

If you have any interest in becoming a USA Swimming Certified official, please contact Coach Benji at coachbenji@excelaquatics.org
