Eligible swimmers who are interested in qualifying for a spot
on J.C.A.T. MUST indicate their intent by placing JC6 in front
of their first name when submitting their entry form for the
ASA League Championship Meet. This will allow staff to determine
eligible swimmers on meet day. **Only times from the ASA Championship
Meet will be used to qualify swimmers for the J.C.S.T.
WHO MAKES THE J.C.A.T.?
Only swimmers 7 years of age and up are eligible to qualify
for Johns Creek Swim Team. The top 3 designated finishers in
each event will qualify for the Johns Creek Swim Team. In addition,
up to 12 of the top freestyle finishers in each age group will
