We will also have age group awards for adults and masters as well so whether you're running or walking, parents should consider registering and make this an event the entire family participates in to kick off Memorial Day Weekend. You can also register your youngest athletes for the 0.4 mile Fun Run. While there are no winner awards for the Fun Run, participants will receive an event shirt and bib to make sure they are included in the fun!
Thank You For Supporting Us!
SwimMAC is the top ranked USA Swimming Club in the country for the fourth year in a row, but the local impact to Charlotte-area families is even greater. Our Swim School teaches roughly 15,000 swim lessons annually to make sure children in Charlotte are safe in the water and learn to love swimming.
Our organization relies on membership revenue, sponsorships and charitable giving in order to provide quality coaching and instruction, maintain our excellent teaching and training locations, fund financial aid programs and staff education, and explore new ways to connect with our community.
Please consider including a small donation with your registration and supporting the nearly 50 full-time employees, 120 part-time employees and volunteers as we all work towards accomplishing SwimMAC's Mission: Empowering young people to be champions in life, through excellence in swimming.
