Congratulations to our swimmers who swam in Knoxville at the TNAQ November Invite this past weekend. Our small group of swimmers showed the same aggression early in our races that we have seen all season. However, this weekend, we looked a little better in the back half as well. Congratulations to Brooklyn Lewis and Boston Boyd who both set team records and to Kingston Dealy for hitting his NCSA Junior National cut in the 100 Back. A big "Thanks" goes out to the meet host TNAQ for all their efforts...

Congratulations to our over 400 swimmers who raced this past weekend at the 2025 Pumpkin Spice Splash meet.

A special "Congrats" goes out to Emily Georgieva who set both the 500 Free and 200 Back team records for our 8 & Under age group. Thank you to our coaches, officials and parent volunteers who put in two long days so that we could have...

Congratulations to our Swimmer, Coaches, Sponsors and Families- we are all officially a 2026 Bronze Medal team! Club Excellence is one of a few different ranking systems for USA Swimming Clubs across the country. However, it is slightly unique in the way clubs are measure. Here at Excel spend a lot of time focusing on two other metrics as well. USA Swimming's Virtual Club Championship and Swimcloud.com's rankings are both measures that are used to gauge teams' accomplishments across all the age groups. In both of those measures, Excel has...

Congratulations to all our swimmers who were in Evansville, IN this weekend. This fun dual meet format gave us an early season look at an out-of-conference powerhouse team in the CSP Tideriders. While we had a small group there, they looked very competitive and fast. A special Congratulations goes out to our 3 individual High Point Winners: Emily & Abigail Georgieva and Harper Grant! A small note- many of the entry times were inadvertantly converted to seed times that were actually faster than they should have been. Therefore, a quick...

Congratulations to the small group of swimmers that traveled to Memphis this past weekend to compete in the Memphis Tiger Classic. While we only had 27 swimmers there, they made their presence known! Congratulations to the 11 different swimmers who won individual events. A special thanks goes out to our coaching staff and our parent volunteers who worked a couple of long sessions to help put on this great meet!

Here at Excel, we get to spend a lot of time bragging on our swimmers. But every now and again, we also get to do the same for our coaches. This weekend, Excel Alum and current Coach McKenna Morello raced in her very first Ironman event at the Augusta 70.3. While McKenna's first sport has always been swimming, it turns out that she's a really good triathlete as well! As this was her first race, McKenna was learning lots of things on the go. "I ended up getting to the...

Congratulations to all of our swimmers who swam this past weekend in the 2025 September Invite. Just over 100 swimmers made the trip into Nashville to compete against 4 other teams. Our swimmers raced hard and were particularly aggressive early in our races. A big "Thank You" goes out to all of our volunteers who pitched in at an away meet and our coaching staff who all put in a long weekend to help put on this meet for our swimmers. Full Meet Report Below: By The Numbers 139 Number...

Congratulations to eveyone who swam this past weekend in the 2025 Fall Fest meet. We had over 350 swimmers competing and many of those for the very first time. This meet report is a little light on data because we don't yet have the qualifying times for either the Southeastern Championships or Age Group Sectionals. Once we do, we will have a little more to report on. What we can report on is that Zaki Ibrahim on hit the NCSA cut in the 100 Free and we had an amazing...

Along the way we also won the 10 and under Girls, 10 and under...
