Who is GO SWIM?
GO Swim Club is unique to this area in that it offers 2 different programs in one team. We are a full time, full service, year round swim club staffed by ASCA certified coaches. What makes our club different is our programs and our coaches, whom include dedicated full time professionals. Additionally, we own our own facility. Our pool was built with the help of USA Swimming and was designed specifically to train competitive swimmers year round.
The club team is just that- like an activities club. There are no USA Swimming fees. It is designed to be fun and improve strokes while also allowing kids to pursue other activities. Swimmers will focus on good stroke mechanics. This low pressure club practices 1 or 2 times a week and is perfect for any child who loves to swim.
The USA Swimming year round team will require a higher level of commitment from swimmers and parents. Swimmers will focus on technique, endurance, and speed, and compete in USA Sanctioned swim meets. Our USA Swimming team, anticipated Aug. 24th, will be the perfect program for children who want to pursue swimming as their primary sport.

Blue Marlins Swim Team
Whether you are just getting started or you want a shot at a state title, the Georgia Aquatic Center Blue Marlins is the team for you. The summer swim team at the Georgia Aquatic Center features coaching staff that has been chosen for their patient and encouraging nature, and all are ASCA certified coaches. Practices will be conveniently scheduled to allow time for your children to pursue other summer activities. We will offer multiple workout times for every group allowing us to have a coach to swimmer ratio that will assure that every child gets the most out of their summer swimming experience.
Stroke & Turn Clinics
Offered yearly, our stroke and turn clinics are perfect for those who wish to further their abilities or learn proper mechanics of swimming. One of our most popular programs during the spring, these clinics are offered at three different levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced to meet all swimmer ability levels. Our professional certified coaching staff and advanced competitive swimmers teach all clinics.
The beginner clinic is for swimmers who can swim a length of the pool without a coach in the water, but need help in learning all four strokes. The intermediate clinic is for swimmers who need help developing their stroke and gaining seed. The advanced clinic is for swimmers with knowledge and strength in all four strokes but need help on endurance and speed. Every week swimmers will work on a different stroke, with the last weeks focusing on dives, starts, turns and finishes.
