The East Bay Bat Rays Swim Team, or EBAT, just began
it’s 11th year of competitive swimming for the 2009 - 2010
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 85 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.
