MJCCA's Zaban Sharks Undefeated for First Time in Program History
For the first time in the program’s history, the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta’s (MJCCA) Zaban Sharks Swim Team went undefeated, and completed its 2017 summer season with a historic 5-0 record. The Zaban Sharks are a recreational and competitive swim team that participates in the Georgia Swimming branch of USA Swimming, and the North Atlanta Swim Association.
Thirty members of the Zaban Sharks swim team qualified to compete in the Atlanta Swimming Association’s (ASA) Divisional Tournament, held June 28 -30, at the McAuley Aquatic Center, formerly the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center. The tournament included six divisions, comprised of hundreds of teams, and thousands of swimmers, competing in freestyle and medley relays, as well as back, breast and fly stroke competition. On Saturday, July 1, sixteen members of the Zaban Sharks earned their way to the Championship Finals, where the top 50 swimmers, ages 10 and under, and the top 40 swimmers, ages 11 and over, as well as the top 20 relays, from all six divisions, competed.
