All new swimmers need to come prepared to demonstrate that they can already swim and will be evaluated by the coaching staff.

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.
