Welcome to the exciting world of swimming! By joining USA Swimming and the Camden County Boomers Swim Club, your child has become a member of one of the country's largest, most organized, and competently coached youth sports. This section has been prepared by USA Swimming with the goal of acquainting you with the sport of competitive swimming. It contains information that will help you and your family to get the most out of participating in age group swimming. With a positive attitude and a willingness to lend a hand, you will also have a great impact on your child's athletic environment, and his or her love of swimming.

There are many benefits to participating in the sport of swimming:

Meeting terrific people. Many swimming buddies become lifelong friends.

Beneficial exercise for cardiovascular and overall fitness.

Life skills. These include time management, self-discipline and sportsmanship.

Fun! Age group swimming can be fun, exciting and rewarding.

Remember that not every swimmer becomes a world record holder, but everyone can gain from his or her swimming experience!

Become more involved with your child's sport - become an official!  There is always a need for certified timers, stroke and turn judges, starters, referees administrators and timing equipment operators.  Learn more by clicking on Georgia Swimming Officials Certification link or talk with members of the board.
