About
Welcome to the Metropolitan Community Swim Association (MCSA) Summer Swim League including the Liberty Storm, Riptide Aquatics, and Gladstone Gators swim teams. The main goal of this program is to provide a Parks and Recreation sponsored swim team program, in which boys and girls are able to participate in an organized training program that exposes them to competition in an area-based municipal league. MCSA strives to provide a positive and friendly atmosphere emphasizing the skills and stroke development of participants while exposing them to the sport of competitive swimming.
The MCSA is a B-C Developmental League that is not intended to rival local USA Swim Club teams or other leagues, but rather to encourage the participation and development of swimmers in what can be described as a “recreational” league as opposed to a “competitive” league. The sport of swimming depends on the involvement and support of parent volunteers to be successful. Parent volunteers will be needed at all swim meets and most volunteer positions do not require any swim experience. Other family members and friends are also welcome to volunteer.
The information on this site will answer many of the questions you probably have about the MCSA summer league including volunteer opportunities, stroke rules, swim meet organization, and much more. Please do not hesitate to ask your team’s coaches or aquatics coordinator questions about the contents of this league handbook, should you have any.
