Southeast Missouri Swim Conference: Winter Swimming
There are three USA swim clubs in the SMSC area that operate past our relatively short swim season. USA swimming has numerous small differences from AAU swimming; however, it's the same great sport and these teams are great for kids who would like to swim more than just our two-month summer session.
1) The Cape Gators invite SMSC swimmers from surrounding areas. A flier is available at this link, and here is their contact information:
| Gator Swim Team (GATR) PO Box 1182 Cape Girardeau, Missouri 63701 |
Steve Franklin 573-264-3422 GSTcoach@sbcglobal.net |
2) There is also a team named the Seals where several SMSC swimmers swim in the winter. Here is their contact information:
| South East Aquatic League (SEAL) 403 Moringstar Lane Jackson, Missouri 63755 |
Larry J. McGinnis 573-243-9312 larry@showme.net |
Both the Gators and Seals swim at the Cape Bubble and both offer month-to-month flexibility- you may swim upwards of 12 months per year, fall-only, spring-only, etc.
3) Caruthersville has a USA swim team that may be of interest to Kennett swimmers:
| Caruthersville Tigersharks 1500 Truman Blvd. 354 County Hwy 536 Caruthersville, Missouri 63830 |
Frances Manz 573-333-2956 |
