We are proud to tell you about our
community swim team formed here in Ballston Spa. This team grew out of the summer
swim program developed by BARC (Ballston Area Recreation Committee) in 1999.
The community investment in our high school pool is now bearing fruit.
Interested parents began this club
in September 2000 to expand competition swimming opportunities into a year
round activity. We have approximately 50 swimmers ranging in ages 5-18. These
children, 90% of whom are Ballston Spa school district students, are keeping
physically fit and developing positive
personal traits of hard work and commitment that will surely benefit them and
our community.
The swim team has also provided an
opportunity for children with certain physical and medical conditions to
participate in a sport activity.
The team is in session throughout the year. It is
nationally sanctioned with the USAS organization (United States of America
Swimming) In the Spring of 2002 we were incorporated as the Ballston Spa Swim Club, Inc. a 301c not for profit
organization. We compete with other

Swimming fees cover the cost of coaches,
pool time and lifeguards. Our fundraising goal for this year is to raise money
for equipment and to cover the startup costs for our two swim meets, which we
will host at the Ballston Spa High
School
We
anticipate that these meets will be our major fundraising events and will
really help us keep the membership fees affordable for our community. We need
sponsors to help us meet this goal.
Meets we will host:
Harvest Invitational: November 17, 2007.
Cabin Fever Invitational: February 16, 2007
