Congratulations to the 9 Excel Swimmers who represented Excel Aquatics at Winter Junior Nationals this past week. National meets are an incredible experience as our athletes get to compete against the best in the country. At this level, even making a second swim is huge accomplishment. This is also an environment that can also create amazing results. This week, we set 5 new team records, a new Winter Juniors cut and a new Summer Juniors Cut. Our women's team scored 52 points placing us 19th one spot ahead of Huntsville,...

Congratulations to our 12 & Under Swimmers who competed in the 2025 Ho Ho Ho Invite this past weekend.

As always, we want to extend a huge "Thank You" to all our officials, parent volunteers and coaches who put in long hours to make this special meet happen. By The Numbers: 220 Number of...

Congratulations to all of our swimmers who competed in the 2025 Beaman Toyota Meet of Champs this past weekend! This meet is quickly becoming one of the most exciting meets in the country largely through the generosity of our friends at Beaman Toyota.

A special "Congratulations" to Celia Francis for hitting her Winter Junior Nationals cut, George Ibrahim for hitting is NCSA Junior National cut, Emily Georgieva, Freddie Burks and Claire Calhoun for...

Congratulations to the small group of swimmers who we sent up to Mason, OH for the City of Mason Invite. This was our first prelims/finals format of the 2025-26 season and the results show it. While it's common for finals races to be faster than prelims, Excel was especially successful in adjusting for any mistake in the morning and putting up big time drops at night. A special congratulations to Callum Farneth who's 200 Fly in 1:54.24 and 100 Free in 46.93 were two new NCSA Junior National cuts in...

Congratulations to our swimmers who swam in Knoxville at the TNAQ November Invite this past weekend. Our small group of swimmers showed the same aggression early in our races that we have seen all season. However, this weekend, we looked a little better in the back half as well. Congratulations to Brooklyn Lewis and Boston Boyd who both set team records and to Kingston Dealy for hitting his NCSA Junior National cut in the 100 Back. A big "Thanks" goes out to the meet host TNAQ for all their efforts...

A special "Congrats" goes out to Emily Georgieva who set both the 500 Free and 200 Back team records for our 8 & Under age group.

Congratulations to our Swimmer, Coaches, Sponsors and Families- we are all officially a 2026 Bronze Medal team! Club Excellence is one of a few different ranking systems for USA Swimming Clubs across the country. However, it is slightly unique in the way clubs are measure. Here at Excel spend a lot of time focusing on two other metrics as well. USA Swimming's Virtual Club Championship and Swimcloud.com's rankings are both measures that are used to gauge teams' accomplishments across all the age groups. In both of those measures, Excel has...

Congratulations to all our swimmers who were in Evansville, IN this weekend. This fun dual meet format gave us an early season look at an out-of-conference powerhouse team in the CSP Tideriders. While we had a small group there, they looked very competitive and fast. A special Congratulations goes out to our 3 individual High Point Winners: Emily & Abigail Georgieva and Harper Grant! A small note- many of the entry times were inadvertantly converted to seed times that were actually faster than they should have been. Therefore, a quick...
