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.
