Middle School Rams,

The results speak for themselves: our Grayson Swim Club swimmers have IMPROVED this season! We had over 50 time breakers over the last week, both at the Gwinnett Invitational and against Collins Hill. We broke 3 team records and had 5 more new top-five team records. But most importantly, our kids love being in the water and with their friends. At its core, Grayson Swim Club is about building community and a love for the sport and each of your families has helped contribute to that.

A message from Coach Jenna:

Thank you so much for trusting us with your children this season. I know the fall season is a busy one and we are grateful that you chose to spend your time with us! We have loved watching them improve and getting to know their very entertaining personalities. Thank you for all your volunteering and sacrifices to make sure everything went smoothly for meets and practices. We love your kids and we hope to see them again in future seasons!

We would like to recognize the inaugural 6th-grade class that has been with us since year one and is leaving us to go on to high school! These swimmers, along with some awesome new Rams that joined the last two years, have set a high standard for our swimmers to follow!

At every single event we have been to this season, opposing coaches and parents have complimented us on the behavior of our kids, the willingness of our parents to volunteer, and the positivity of our program. I would personally like to thank each one of you for the endless hours you commit to your families and towards helping us grow swim in our community. Few other sports ask parents to volunteer at the level that swimming does, and each of our families went above and beyond the call by helping out whenever and wherever was needed.

Many of you are already part of our amazing summer swim community through the Gwinnett Swim League. We are fortunate to have two of the best coaches of that league in our program AND leading the two teams in our community! Coach Jenna is the head coach of the Waterton Waverunners, and Coach Mark is the head coach of the North Forke Barracudas! We also have amazing relationships AND swimmers from the Snellville Supersonics and Cooper's Pond Aquaducks! Registration begins in February, and we will send you more info for all teams. We would love to have you join and continue to be a part of our swim family!

I am happy to announce that the Grayson Swim Club is working on a special April session to help get swimmers ready for summer swim. As we get more details together I will get that out to you, we would love to have you join us!

On behalf of the coaches and me, have a restful and fun holiday season. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Go Grayson!
