TREASURE COAST AQUATICS

2024-25 SCHOLASTIC ALL-TCA - DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 22nd

Every year, USA Swimming honors the nation’s top scholar-athletes who earn the coveted Scholastic All-American award. These swimmers may win this award for the 10^th, 11^th and/or 12^th grade years. Swimmers must maintain a minimum of a 3.5 GPA and swim to at least one Winter Junior National Time standard in order to apply for this award.

In its quest to inspire and produce as many Scholastic All-Americans as possible, TREASURE COAST AQUATICS has initiated the Scholastic All-Stars Award program for its swimmers who show accomplishment of a challenging time standard in the pool, while maintain excellence in the classroom, will win this award.

The time standard will become progressively more challenging as the swimmer ages, gradually preparing them for the USA Swimming award when they are in high school. The following are the standards for the Scholastic All-TCA Award:

MINIMUM GPA

Application must maintain minimum 3.5 GPA for the current academic year

GRADE CONVERSION

A=4, B=3, C=2. If numerical grades are used, the following scale will be used unless the school’s letter grade conversion is given on the transcript: A=90-100; B=80-89; C=70-79. In calculating the GPA, no rounding will be used – one decimal place only.

HONORS & ACADEMIC SUBJECTS

Only grades for academic subjects will be used to calculate GPA – history/social studies, English, mathematics, sciences, foreign languages, computer sciences, visual and performing arts if indicated as academic. Any grade lower than a C in an academic subject will mean automatic rejection of the applicant.

Grades for non-academic courses will NOT be calculated – art, band, orchestra, choir, home economics, health, driver education, physical education, shop, etc. and any other class marked as non-academic will not be included in the GPA calculation (unless transcript indicates ‘academic’ or AP or IB).
