Johns Creek Aquatic Team (JCAT)

Interested in extending your summer swim into July?  The city-sponsored team is comprised of qualified swimmers, ages 6-18, from local Johns Creek neighborhood/subdivision swim teams who compete at the Georgia Recreation & Parks Association (GRPA) State Swim Meet.  

The swim team will represent the city and compete in the GRPA state meet scheduled for (July 25-26) at the Columbus Aquatic Center, Columbus, GA.

To qualify for the team, participants must be pre-registered on the JCAT website and take part in the Atlanta Swim Association championship meet at Georgia Tech Aquatic Facility. Swimmers who qualify will be required to commit and register for JCAT the day of the qualifying meet.

Attached below is the 2025 JCAT Memo.

NOTE:

• Three Individual Events – competitors can potentially be entered into a max of THREE individual events and two relays events (2018 rule change).
• Mixed Gender Relay – this will give an opportunity for age groups that don’t have enough swimmers to fill a same gender relay, to team together for a mixed gender relay. All swimmers can still only participate in 2 relay events but now those could be either mixed or same gender.
• The INDIVDUAL event(s) your child swims at the ASA Championship Meet at GA Tech, if qualified for the JCAT, would be the same INDIVDUAL event(s) your child would swim at the GRPA State Swim Meet. *This is a GRPA State Swim Rule
• Suggestion, not requirement! To maximize the amount of events your child could possibly swim at the GRPA State Swim Meet (if you qualify for the JCAT), would be to have your child swim an exhibition 3^rd event at the ASA Championship Meet, along with 2 other individual events. We can now take any stroke for your exhibition 3^rd event. That could be the Short Free if they’re not already swimming that as their 2 individual events to have a time for the JCAT Free Relay team or an additional individual event.
