Here are the results of the swim meet that the Marlins hosted Saturday, welcoming the Crossett Racing Eagles, El Dorado Healthworks Hurricanes, Pine Bluff Sharks, and Warren YMCA Waves. Â
The Marlins won by an overwhelming margin as a team. Many of our local swimmers also had tremendous success on an individual level. The summary lists each swimmer’s results. To the far right you will see the number of points that each swimmer accumulated for that race. The number to the right of the score is the place that they finished.
The Marlins had several swimmers who won everything they swam.

The Monticello Marlins Swim Team will be holding their first home meet of the season this Saturday, June 13th at McCloy Park City Pool. Read the rest of this entry »
The Monticello Swim Team is  having summer sign-up on April 9th, 13th, and 16th from 6:00pm-7:30pm at Southeast Arkansas Rehab on Old Warren Road.
All new swimmers need to come prepared to demonstrate that they can already swim and will be evaluated by the coaching staff.
Returning swimmers can come by Dr. Alisa Hopper’s office at 433 South Main St. to fill out their paperwork.
For more information, they can call 367-7636.
The Monticello Marlins swim team have passed their mid season point. Despite the difficulty of not having a local pool to hold practices and having approximately 30 fewer swimmers this year, they have had a strong season. The Marlin swimmers have proven their dedication to their sport this year by traveling to Warren everyday to practice at both the Warren YMCA and the Warren City Pool. The Marlins have placed first as a team in 3 of 4 meets losing only to the El Dorado Healthworks Hurricanes at their opening meet in Arkadelphia. The Marlins are coached this year by head coach Amanda Dreyer, Rebecca McEachern, Meredith Grubbs, Jordan Hopper and Landon Owens.
Saturday, eight Monticello residents went on a road trip to Paragould to tour their civic center and pool facility.
The photos shown in this series show a “splash park” that is located away from the primary civic center and pool area.
Spash equipment, water toys, and sprayers of all types were built into the play area.
Nearby benches, as well as a pavilion, were closely located, so that parent could keep a convenient watch over their children.
The primary pool area included two water slides, umbrellas, and all types of spray and play equipment.
We couldn’t help but notice the long lines of swimmers waiting to enter the facility, which opened at 1 p.m.
Lifeguards are on duty, but children must be attended by adults.
Overhead views show the approximately 600 swimmers enjoying the pool area around 2-3 p.m.
The pool is open to the public during the day, and available to be rented for parties every night, except Sunday, when maintenance occurs.
The indoor pool has a pleasant appearance from the outside, as well as from inside the pool area.
The theraputic pool has a “handicapped access” as well as steps.
Pat Austin, facility director, shown here in orange, led the tour, which included MEDC Director Truman Hamilton, Alderman Tim Chase, Keith Caldwell (Marlins parent), Julie Gentry (UAM intramurals director), Terry Hopper (Marlins parent), and Mayor Joe Rogers. Also taking the trip were Patty Wooten for the Advance, and Joe Burgess, for MonticelloLive.com (neither pictured).
The enclused area has the roof opened for air-flow, which closes automatically in the event of inclimate weather.
Located next to the pavilion at the splash park, is a skate park.
Ms. Pat said the this area draws heavy youth traffic, as well. She pointed out the instead of saying “Here’s what you’re getting”, the skaters were able to take part in the planning, and helped design the ramps and fixtures.
Several skaters arrived while we were there, and put on a good “presentation” for us, using the different ramps other features that are built into the park.Â
