Attention all Divers and swimmers training with Swim Atlanta,

There will be a mandatory meeting of all divers and swimmers training with Swim Atlanta on Tuesday, Nov. 10, in Coach Rodgers' room (room 1.596 - upstairs in the back of the school) at 7:00 AM.  Swimmers that train at Bogan Park do not need to attend the meeting. 

Posted 10/15/09

Practice begins on Monday, October 19th at Bogan Park Pool.   Swimming practice will begin at 4:00 PM and conclude at 6:00 PM.  On the first day the swimming coaches will discuss practice expectations so we will not do any dryland.  We will swim on the first day.  USS swimmers are not expected to attend the first Mill Creek High School practice.

Diving practice begins at 7:30 PM.

All swimmers and divers must have a physical on file with the athletic department in order to participate in practice.  Please do not bring your physical to practice.  The coaches cannot receive physicals.  They must be turned in to Laura Dunnigan in the Mill Creek Athletic Office inside the gym.  The physical must be filled out completely including insurance information.

Swim Team Registration Information
Swim Team registration was held on Tuesday, Sept. 15, at 6:30 PM in the Mill Creek Commons.

Below are the time standards for the 2009-2010 Mill Creek Swim Team. Due to the large number of swimmers that historically have expressed interest in swimming at Mill Creek, we have set up time standards. We train in a six-lane pool, so space is limited. Last year, due to the large interest in swimming, we were forced to reduce our roster so we could run challenging workouts. We typically swim around 4000-4500 yards in a 90 minute workout. A typical summer league team swims around 2000 yards in a 60 minute practice. Meeting the time standards below does not guarantee that you will make the team. We may also keep some swimmers, depending on the numbers, that may be slightly slower than the time standards below. You would not have to meet all of the time standards to participate. For example, you may be strong in breaststroke, but not in backstroke. We will take into consideration that some swimmers may be strong in some strokes, but not in others. We will run a time trial meet on Thursday, Oct. 29 during our normal practice time.

Girls............. Event............... Boys
31.00........... 50 Free............ 28.00
37.00........... 50 Back............ 34.00
41.00........... 50 Breast ........ 38.00
37.00........... 50 Fly............... 34.00
1:09.00........ 100 Free........ 1:04.00

Swim Atlanta has opened a new pool at Auburn Road and Dacula Road. The pool is a six-lane, indoor pool. Swim Atlanta will be running a high school practice group everyday from 2:45 to 4:15. The practices will be comparable to our high school practices. A swimmer is allowed to attend either a Swim Atlanta workout or a Mill Creek High School workout. Any swimmer that is looking to get ready for high school swimming, or you are interested in getting involved in USS swimming (and swim like Michael Phelps, Amanda Weir or Eric Shanteau), then we encourage you to contact Swim Atlanta at:
Dacula Kids Village
1152 Auburn Road
Dacula, GA 30019
770-277-9499
kim@swimatlanta.com (Swim Atlanta Coach Kim Hurst)

Divers will tryout starting October 19th.
