The
Smokin' Salmon AJCC Swim Team is a family-oriented program, encouraging
swimmers to work toward achieving their fullest potential while supporting and
encouraging the efforts and achievements of their
teammates.
Essential
to our success is the concept of
team spirit and camaraderie strengthened through hours
of practice, support of team members, mentoring opportunities for older
swimmers and acceptance of new
challenges and greater responsibility.
A member of the Greater Knoxville Area Interclub Swim Association
(GKAISA), Smokin' Salmon is
open for girls and boys ages 5-18. Swimmers are divided into age group
competition levels.
The AJCC Swim Team coaching staff consists of
experienced, highly motivated persons.
We provide a low coach-to-swimmer
ratio to ensure that each swimmer is given the personal attention and
instruction needed to reach his/her potential.Coaches will work with swimmers
during practices to ensure the swimmer is working at a level that both
challenges and encourages.
