Meet Information

The Benefits of becoming USA Swimmer/ Parent Member

Benefits of being a USA member includes insurance and liability during practice and meets, administration costs, subscription to Swimmer World and opportunity for the swimmer to swim only in USA sanctioned meets. This means that your swimmer will be able to go to Savannah, Augusta, and Brunswick to compete in meets. The GRPA meets are often held in the Atlanta area and become quite costly to travel too, we do attend one district qualifying meet, and GRPA Championship which are held in Georgia for the summer champs.

Please see the head coach for an application. We ask that our team renew their membership each October for the preceding year. All checks can be made out to SBCPRD, and they will all be mailed with our team membership payments. This will be done once per year (October 1st). If you do not join at this time you will be responsible for sending your application into the LSC.

A swimmer is expected to compete in meets and events as scheduled by the coaching staff. Only the coach may make changes or give permission to miss a selected event or meet.

Georgia Recreation Parks Association Swimming (GRPAS):
GRPA sanctioned swim meets are funded through the SBCPRD. The Recreation Department will cover entry fees for participants and all expenses for staff.

United States Swimming (USA):
In order to participate in USA sanctioned swim meets, swimmers must be a member of USA (additional membership fees required). The SBCPRD will provide transportation to USA Meets if vans are available. Parents are encouraged to take their own swimmers to the meets.

To attend meets a swimmer must be in good standing with all entry fees and dues. A swimmer should be in good standing with respect to attendance at practice. Two weeks prior to a meet each swimmer will receive the information for events in which they have been scheduled.
