Check out our new information tab called Coaches' Corner. This will be used by our awesome coaching staff to share general education items about the sport of swimming (e.g. technique, swimmer development, training strategy, etc.) for swimmers and parents, as well as any important updates to the team structure. The most recent "Coaches' Corner" post was written by Coach Noah and discusses the early development of young swimmers.

Hello! As you may have already noticed, our website got a facelift this week- we've also updated it with all the information pertinent to the 2022-2023 season, so the dues and schedules are now up there!

A few people have asked us if meets are mandatory…The short answer is no. Nothing at ASL is mandatory. Now, for the long answer! First year 10-under athletes will be mainly competing in our “In-House” meets in Aiken on Saturday mornings. In and out, no fuss. This is a great, easy, comfortable entry into the competition part of the sport. Once your athlete is ready, from a training and mental aspect, we’ll ask to get them into some other meets in the surrounding area, generally Charleston to Charlotte to Atlanta...

ASL is a non-profit swim club, governed by a parent board and led by coaches. We have three full-time coaches now, whom I will introduce in a later email, working to provide a positive training environment for a wide range of athletes, from 6 year olds coming in from summer league swimming and looking to keep competing and having fun in the water, to 18 year olds looking to compete at a National level, or 18 year olds who’ve got passions that lay elsewhere, but still enjoy training with their...

Hello! This is going to be one of a handful of documents I’ll be sending in the coming days. They will go over a wide range of topics, all designed to help you get a sense of what ASL is, what ASL does, and how ASL does it. To start this off, I’m going to as briefly as possible give you an overview of “year-round club swimming”. We will have the Practice and Meet calendars up by the middle of next week, when we open Registration for returning members. You...
