 The East Bay Bat Rays Swim Team, or EBAT, just began it’s 9th year of competitive swimming for the 2007 - 2008 swim season.  We are a non-profit organization that is dedicated to competition, commitment, sportsmanship, family, fun, learning, and friendships, with a common goal of bringing swimming to higher and higher levels in this community.  Becoming a member of EBAT makes you a member of United States Swimming, the national governing body of the sport in the U.S.  Your U.S.A. Swimming membership provides you with insurance coverage, the opportunity to swim in first-rate swimming competition and a free subscription to Splash!, the membership newsletter.  EBAT is one of over 2,600 programs nationwide.  We currently have about 80 swimmers on the team, ranging from 5 yrs. old to college age.  We swim year-round at Cal State East Bay.

Other swim programs, such as the local summer league, (EBSL), is great at introducing the sport of swimming to young athletes, and it also helps the transition into high school swimming.  However, these teams are limited in the number of events offered to swim as well as the length of the season. The short events and the short season are sometimes not enough for those who want more out of swimming.  Some may wish to compete at a higher level by the time they start high school, or they are looking ahead to college competition, with possible scholarships to strive for.

The East Bay Bat Rays Swim Team can offer personal success to everyone who joins.  We have produced Junior National finalists as well as nationally ranked age group swimmers.  Whether you are joining this team because you are seriously dedicated to this sport and want to shoot for the stars or if you think you might want to just try one of our clinics during the year to enhance your summer league or high school performance, we have a lane for you.
