SwimManiac ELITE INFO
The SwimManiac Competitive Swimming Supplemental Training Program is designed for competitive swimmers seeking qualifying times for State, Sectionals, Jr. Nationals, Nationals, D1-3 collegiate times or better. August 4th, 2024 will kickoff the start of SwimManiac's Elite Supplemental Training Program. While we will continue to focus on and teach the fine details and fundamentals of competitive swimming, our primary focus with the Elite training program will be race development, race strategy, and race conditioning.
SwimManiac is not a swim club nor do we recruit athletes training in our program. Our 2023-2024 training class achieved many accolades with 90% of the trainees achieving a minimum Georgia Swimming State Qualifying time or added additional qualifying cuts in one or more events within the first two training cycles (TC). On average, every athlete improved their year on year personal best times by 10 seconds or better. Below are details to explain our current program.

*Training and registration fees are non-refundable and training commitments must be completed or fees will be forfeited. An invoice will be submitted to you and paid by the 15th of each month. We do not except late payments. On time remittance is a reflection of each parent's commitment to their athlete's success in our program. Late payments are also grounds for removal of an athlete from our program.

QUALIFYING FOR THE ELITE TRAINING ROSTER:
The Elite training program only has eight (8) available roster spots at any given time. An athlete is interviewed to see if he/she meet our minimal requirements. Usually Elite trainees are Georgia Swimming State Championship Qualifiers or higher (There are exceptions but that is a coach's decision). We are looking for competitive swimmers that want to achieve "AAA" or "AAAA" USA Swimming Motivational Times. Our goal is to assist in the development of great citizens of our community.
