Way to go Beach Cities!!!!!!! We had a phenomenal Last Ditch/Winter Age Group Champs and Junior Nationals. Way to close out 2018 in style. Congratulations to all the kids who dropped time, swam new things, made new cuts, broke team records, made finals for the first time, made the podium for the first time, swam on the "A" relay for the first time......the list goes on. Super proud of you all and my staff for a job well done. So bummed that I missed so many great races. We were...

18 and Under World 100 Alex Crisera https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/usa-swimming-honors-third-annual-18-under-world-100/

You are in rare water being a part of Beach Cities Swimming! This morning, USA Swimming named the 2018-19 USA Swimming National Junior Team, and our very own Alex Crisera is on that list! Alex is one of 21 high schoolers to be named and one of 35 women named to the team. It was her 100 Back (1:00.89) at Junior Nationals this summer that made the list. That time would have been good enough for a second and slivers from a third swim at the 2016 Olympic Trials!! Beach...

Scholastic All-Americans This would be from the previous season. Requirements for this honor are: Junior National time standards and minimum 3.5 GPA Alex Crisera Keiko Derikoletis Ike Shirakata Ema Kakazu Kai Bathurst and Andrew White qualified, but did not turn in their paperwork. (:

MARLINS RW Finale Sola Akimoto, Amia Kisiler, Noah Kisiler, Adelei Mosterller, Jaden Morse, and Bobby Leetch attended the meet from the Marlin group. Arriving on time, warming up, checking in and out with coaches, and getting to their races are the most important part of their responsibilities. Some DQs to note this time, and some time drops as follows: Sola: 50 breast- good swim, no DQ, 100 IM time of 1:52.9 Amia: time drop of 3 sec on 25 back, good swim on 50 free time of 46.8 Noah: 3...

2018 LAI Roger Brown - Roger took his last shot at trying to nab that elusive Sectional Cut this season at LAI. He worked so hard and came so close. These were both best times for him, just not what he needed to reach his goal. 100 Back - 1:03 200 Back - 2:17 2018 Summer LC Sectionals - 11th overall and 3rd in Medium Team Division Sectionals was a championship meet for some and tune up for others. National level kids swam many "off " events and relays to...

CIF and LA City Swim Championships saw our Beach Cities Swimmers topping the charts and dropping time all over the place. With most of them sick or coming off of the plague that recently went through our team, we still seemed to shine. 30+ swimmers, and if I missed someone please reach out to me for a correction to this submission. I remember when there were just a handful of BCS kids competing at this level and even less making finals. Great work BCS coaches! Our staff did a great...

This past weekend Beach Cities Swimming participated in the 2014 Penguins Aquatics Club IMR/IMX Power Point Meet at the South Gate Swim Stadium! This two day meet was jammed packed with quick paced events; probably the fastest meet BCS has been to in regards to time between events. The IMR/IMX meet special for many reasons, not only was the structure of the meet different but the swimming environment was also something that BCS is not usually accustomed to. Regardless or the obstacles, BCS swam like true high performance athletes under...
