Purpose of Mountainbrook Swim Team

To build a swim team that provides team members a solid foundation of stroke technique, good sportsmanship and promotes a love for competitive swimming.  The program will strive to encourage every individual to achieve improvement in the water and as a team player.

v  Swim League and Swimmer Eligibility

Ø  Swimmers must be members in good standing of Mountainbrook Club, Inc.

Ø  Swimmers must have completed a registration form and paid registration fees.

Ø  Our swim team is in the Greater Charlotte Swim League (GCSL) and we are in Division III with

Brightmoor, Candlewyck, River Hills, Raintree, Foxcroft East and Weddington Chase.

Ø  Swimmers must be 18 years or younger on May 31, 2009 that falls during, or immediately prior to the start of the current season.  The only exception permitted is if the swimmer is 19 and a high school student when the current swim team season starts. 

Ø  The age level of each swimmer for the current season shall be determined by the swimmer’s age on or before May 31, 2009 that falls during the current season.  Each swimmer shall swim in his/her age group the entire season.

Ø  Swimming Up:  If the coach determines that the swimmer will serve the team best by swimming in the next older age group, the change must be implemented for the entire season and must be made prior to the first meet.

v  Swim Team Practice and Lessons

Ø  Stroke and / or private lessons may be offered by the head coach.  It is the coach’s discretion as to the interests desired from a group or persons needing additional stroke lessons prior to the first swim meet.  The head coach will make available proper instruction from our coaches and assistants at an additional cost.

Ø  Swim team practice will be held from Monday, May 18, 2009 through Tuesday, June 30, 2009.  All swimmers are encouraged to attend practice everyday.
