GaGa Swimmers Kick Off Championship Season @ Coda Meet
7/15 - About 80 GaGa swimmers got the end-of-season Championship meets started with a bang at the Coda Invite at Dynamo this weekend. For some it was the last meet of the long course season while others were trying to tune up for the State Champs coming up the next two weekends.
Overall GaGa swimmers achieved over 40 new time standards, and over 30 new state cuts, and B cuts. That's down compared to last year but for the best reason - we have more than ever before already qualified for state!
Even without those state swimmers we still had 30 swimmers with top-3 finishes including Lucy Bower, Jacob Matthew, Aliana McCann, Grant McGee, Nik Ramdeo, Ernesto Santiesteban-Pizarro, Jude Stanton, and Emery Wells, who all won events. Other top-3 finishers were Lucas Babcock, Nate Beeney, Reynolds Bowers, Eddie El Osta, Ben El-Alam, Emma Gonzalez, Kendall Granberry, Morgan Henry, Zoe Jinadu, Arina Kovalenkov, Josh Liu, Alex Matveev, Aaron Passman, Brooks and Riley Pynn, Lillie Robinson, Eva Saldana, Addi Shaffer, Collier Stanton, Andrian Strokan, Victoria Tannure, and Abby Wong.
Bower picked up her first AA times of the season, Shaffer her first A times, and El Osta, Liu, and Nyziah Barnaby their first BBs. Henry, Liu and McGee picked up their first state cuts (Liu's first ever!)
Meanwhile many of our swimmers participated in the Gwinnett County Summer League Champs with Baylor Stanton, Hannah-Claire Jowers, Cameron Jones, Emily Hardy, Emery Wells, Amaya McCann all won High Point for their age groups while Kate Breiding, CJ Gast, Arina Kovalenkov all finished in the top-3. Additionally Jowers and Hardy broke team records, Hardy got her first ever AAAA, Jinadu and Kovalenkov earned their first ever A times and Kaylin Lee got her first BB of the season.
Now all that remains are the State, Regional and National Championship meets over the next two weekends, starting with the Age Group State Champs next weekend. For swimmers not in those meets practice is now over but we we do have fun day practices next week for the age groupers.
And pre-season 2024-25 starts August 11!
Registration Now Open to Public for the 2025-26 Season 
6/29 - Registration in now open for new swimmers for the 2025-26 season. Many of the groups already have very limited openings. Getting your eval done and registering early will give you the best chance of getting a spot.
Evaluations are currently available Mondays and Wednesdays at 530pm through Aug 6. Beginning Aug 12 they will move to Tuesdays and Thursdays at 530pm.
Evals are free and take about 10 minutes but sometimes we have quite a few swimmers in attendance so it takes a little longer. Just use the link below to register. High school aged swimmers should email coach Hugh Convery for a pre-registration meeting rather than an evaluation.
Our pre-season will start August 11 with the full schedule starting September 8. The first meet will be October 4. We are looking forward to a very exciting year with one of our strongest teams ever!

Emery Wells Breaks Team Record in 400 Free!
6/30 - After the big weekend the older swimmers had last week in Florida, it was time for the younger swimmers (and a couple older ones too) to show their stuff this last weekend in Cumming. Over 50 swimmers, mostly 12 and Under, had their final tune-up before the big championship meets at the GOLD Summer Invite.
Vincent Tuck, CJ Gast, and Aaron Passman all won events while Emery Wells, Riley Pynn and Jude El-Alam all had top-3 finishes.

Jude and Andrian Strokan got their first AA times, while Pynn and Ben El-Alam picked up their first A times. Harper Lee and Eva Saldana got their first BB times, while Emmalyn Chase got her first B time. Pynn also got his first 11-12 state cut!
