The Hammerhead Swim Team is having an amazing 2023 season! This year our team has well over 200 swimmers. The kids have been swimming fast, improving their strokes and winning meets. Both kids and their parents are making friends and wonderful memories.

The end of the season is fast approaching. The 2023 Gwinnett County Championship meet will be July 7-9 at Georgia Tech for the top 50 swimmers in each age group across the county. The Hammerheads will have numerous kids representing Hamilton Mill at this meet.

The team will celebrate their accomplishments, both individual and team collective at the End of the Season Swim Banquet on Thursday, July 6th at the Lakeview Pool.
