Swim Team Registration Information
Swim Team registration will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 14, at
6:30 PM in the Mill Creek Commons.
Below are the time standards for the 2010-2011 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 4500-5000 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 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. 28 during our normal practice time.
Girls............. Event............... Boys
31.00........... 50 Free............ 28.00

Swim Atlanta
has opened a new facility 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 USA 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)
Swim team practice will begin on Monday, October 18th.
Diving practice will also begin on Monday, October 18th.
