GwinAq Reclaims Title at Lanier Winter Invite

12/17 - Gwinnett Aquatics won the Lanier Winter Invite in Gainesville this weekend for the third time in four years.   It was an especially strong showing given that most of our Senior team wasn't there this year and lower than participation than usual from our Gold and Blue teams.

Led by multi event winners Marlowe Misner, Isaac Saenz, Sofie Rees and Cate Joyce, the team was able to hold off Host Lanier Aquatics with a big Sunday night finals.

Over the three-day meet we had ten swimmers win events and 13 more medal! In addition 14 swimmers picked up new time standards.

Now we have a great opportunity for even more improvement during the holidays to get ready for the Rays Invite and Eastern Classic and the bigger championship meets in February and March!

Swim-A-Thon 2018 In the Books

12/4 - All the groups have now finished their swims for the 2018 Swim-A-Thon and now all that's left is to finish collecting the money and for the last couple swimmers to make up their swims. 

The honor of most improved group goes to Gold this year, dropping 22 seconds per 100 over last year's swims and 8 seconds/100 better than last year's Gold group! All of Blue team's results aren't in yet but it looks like they'll be 2nd and Prep and HSTG neck and neck for third. 

Currently we have raised just over $12,000 toward our goal of $25,000*.  But only about 50% of the team has participated.  All money is due in by next Monday so we hope the remaining families will join in by then. 

*not all funds will be reflected in the on-line total. Facebook, check and cash donations will only be added if they bring the swimmer over one of the national Swim-a-Thon prize thresholds.

GwinAq Swimmers Shine at Senior State Champs, US Nationals

7/29 - Most of the Gwinnett Aquatics senior group finished out the season this weekend at the Senior State Champs at UGA. While most of the swimmers had their big meet at Sectionals and four swimmers are still headed to Zones and Futures, the meet was still a good one for a group of swimmers.

Jacob Rees broke the Team Record in the 50 and 100 frees (the 50 free record was 17 years old!).  He, Drew Grier, Wesley Carter and Griffin Hammett broke the two 200 relay records while Sarah Jahns, Maggie Nguyen, Juliana Carey and Lauren Diehl broke the 200 free relay record.  Rees scored in three events while Grier and Carter also scored.  Carter picked up his first ever Futures cut while Diehl got her first AAA.

And of course, we couldn't mention Age Group State without a HUGE THANK YOU to all our parents (and swimmers) who helped us run the meet! While we struggled a little more this year than in the past to fill-up our volunteer slots, there were quite a few families who gave up so much of their time to make this meet a success: in the hospitality room, as officials, or on deck as timers, runners, and a variety of other jobs! Once again we heard tons of positive feedback from other teams, and have maintained our great reputation as an organization that does things right - and deservedly so!

GaGa Seniors Roll at High School State, County Champs

2/6 - While last weekend was a regular training one for most of our swimmers, our Senior and HSTG swimmers were tearing up the lanes at Georgia Tech at the Georgia High School State Champs! 16 Ga-Ga swimmers qualified for the meets (large school and small schools run two separate meets). With the meets being run in a different format this year - bringing back 30 swimmers instead of 20, not locking in finals, and scoring schools separately based on their divisions, it is hard to make a meaningful comparison with our past performances. However, we can confidently say that this year's group stepped up to represent their schools - and Ga-Ga as well!
   Juliana Carey(2x), Wesley Carter, Drew Grier(2x), Griffin Hammett(2x) and Sarah Jahns all scored top-10 finishes, while Lauren Diehl and Charlie Fountain both scored in the top-20. In total, Ga-Ga swimmers had 11 scoring swims, with most of them in the top 10. Grier also swam in 2 winning relays for Brookwood. Congrats once again to all, especially to the members of Brookwood Boys' and Girl's teams, for sweeping the meets in the 7A division!

Please note the "Improv" column is using a very difficult conversion off the swimmer's best yard times so if they are close it was a good swim.
