BACKGROUND: The East Central Swim Team is a USA Swimming sanctioned club. We offer year round competitive swimming during two main seasons, Short Course (September - March) and Long Course (April - August). Our club swimmers compete at various USA sanctioned meets during the course of each season, with state championships occurring during March and July. The ECST also has a Lesson program that runs from April-July that helps feed into our competitive swim program. We currently have swimmers from all towns within Southeast Indiana and Southwest Ohio areas. Our home pool is at East Central High School. The pool at ECHS is a 40 yards, 8 lane pool stretch pool separated with a bulkhead. ECST was established in 1981.
