The CCAA is dedicated to encouraging participation by as many children as possible in competitive swimming.

There are two teams in the Charleston area that offer opportunities for CCAA swimmers to develop their swimming ability during the rest of the year. Links to their team web sites are found below:

Mount Pleasant Swim Club (MPSC)

Southern Marlins Racing Team (SMRT)

There will also potentially be another team swimming 2-3 days per week over the winter for swimmers interested in having fun and staying in shape. For more information, contact Christen Hall at CJPTHALL@aol.com

Preparing for the 2008 Season

After another record-breaking season in 2007, the Coastal Carolina Aquatic Association (CCAA) is gearing up for 2008. The second meeting for team representatives was held on April 16 at the Jewish Community Center. The next meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 3, also at the JCC (map).

Officials training began on Tuesday, April 29, with the first of three classroom sessions at the JCC. The first of the three poolside sessions was held at Parkshore on Saturday, May 3. Officials are reminded that they should attend one classroom session and one poolside session. Please note that the classroom session scheduled for Wednesday, May 14, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, May 13.

The league divisions for the 2008 season have been set, and the dual meet schedule has been published. Wescott Plantation applied for readmission to the CCAA, and was voted back in to the league. The Creekside Crocodiles dropped out of the CCAA for the 2008 season, and the Charleston Air Force Base and Naval Weapons Station teams announced that they would join forces to become the Federal Armed Services Team (FAST). Because this leaves the CCAA with 23 teams, team representatives voted to reduce the association from four divisions to three for this season. The top seven teams from the 2007 City Meet will make up the Red League. The eighth through fourteenth place teams will comprise the White League. The nine-team Blue League will be made up of the remaining teams that finished in fifteenth place and below in the 2007 City Meet (with CAFB and NWS combined), plus Wescott Plantation.

The teams in the Red League and White League will swim similar schedules this season. Teams in these two leagues will swim six meets against the other teams in their own league and two out-of-league meets against teams from the other league. Teams in the Blue League will swim an eight-meet schedule that has each team swimming every other Blue League team once.

Team reps and board members at the March 19 CCAA meeting decided that emphasis would be placed this season on having CCAA coaches participate in child sexual abuse prevention training through Darkness to Light.

We welcome two new members to the CCAA board: Michael Bennett, an assistant coach and parent from Northbridge Terrace, and Barry Hillebrand, a parent and co-team rep from Dunes West.

A tentative schedule of important dates for 2008 can be found at the bottom of this page.

The CCAA is composed of 23 teams from the tri-county area surrounding Charleston, South Carolina.

Over 2000 swimmers from 4 to 18 years old represent their neighborhoods, clubs, and other organizations in friendly (but exciting!) competition. CCAA teams began practicing in April and May and compete against each other in dual meets in June and July.
