Once again, ACST will be competing in the Middle Atlantic zone, under the umbrella of USA Swimming. Our competitive fall/winter team is designed to develop swimming technique, build each swimmer’s endurance and confidence while participating in USA swim meets. Each swimmer is encouraged to have fun while enjoying the ACAC swim team experience!

Fall/Winter swim team season begins with practices on Monday, September 12th and concludes with championships meets, scheduled for the end of March-beginning of April. Beginning in October, ACST swimmers will be able to attend USA meets. All swimmers must be registered with USA Swimming in order to compete in these meets. The annual fee for membership in USA Swimming is $60 and is good until December 2012. If you are transferring from another USA swim club, there is an additional $10 fee. USA swim meets are held in the tri-state area on Saturday and Sundays. Each swimmer is responsible for transportation to-and-from meets. Mini meets are for swimmers ages 5-8 only. Swimmers ages 9-18 compete in A/BB/C meets.
