Hello everyone!

Wow, It has been almost a year since our very first Journey to Nationals at Georgia Tech. Time flies when you’re having fun! Our club has blossomed this past year, growing and succeeding like never before. We would like to take this opportunity to first thank you for your support for our team last year. The only way we have continued to develop this rapidly as a club is because we have such a strong base of support.

We are excited to announce that we are headed back to Georgia Tech for Nationals for the second time in our club’s history!!! We have worked immensely hard this year to train and to make it back to Nationals. The team consists of 25 swimmers, new and old, itching to compete against about 2300 swimmers from over 100 schools. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET THERE!

We have just launched a new EngagePitt fundraiser to help alleviate our meet, travel and lodging costs for Nationals 2017. We are hoping that by the end of the this month we will reach our goal of $3,000.  Follow this link, https://engage.pitt.edu/swim, and check out our new campaign! And while you're at it, we'd love it if you would click the GIVE NOW button and support us again this year.  

Thank you so much for your time, and as always, HAIL TO PITT!!

Hello everyone!

First of all we want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who gave us support and contributed with donations. We received a huge outpouring of love and encouragement and we will all be forever grateful. We will never be able to say Thank You enough times. Now to give you an update on nationals, overall six of our swimmers were able to make it back to finals including: Andrew Steehler, Xavier Strittmatter, Felipe Martin, Alex Bowen and Justin Voelzke. As a team we are incredibly proud of all of these swimmers because getting to finals means that these swimmers were among the top 20 swimmers of all of the nations club swimmers. All of our other 19 swimmers also competed and did fabulously. We had an amazing time swimming and while it was 25 degrees and snowing in Pittsburgh, we were enjoying the 70 degree sunny weather in Atlanta. We are already looking forward to next year and hopefully having the opportunity to return to nationals again! Again, thank you all so much for all of the support!

Hello everyone!

First, we wanted to thank everyone for the continued support! We are getting very excited to leave in nine days. We only have six practices left and we are using them all to be in the best shape we can be, come next weekend. 

This past weekend we held our home meet, which was our last chance to make qualifying times for nationals. We had a blast and all of our times continue to show the amount of work we've been putting in this year. Now that we all have our times we are officially signed up for all of our events and we are ready to leave! 

We are extremely grateful for all of the donations that we've received and hope that if you haven't given yet, you will still consider helping us fund our way to nationals! 

Thank you!
