PCST Finishes with Highest National Rankings Ever!
Tsunamis Make Big Jumps in the National Rankings Once Again for 2009-2010 Season!!
Since 2003, United States Swimming has used their vast informational database of swimming times to create a very intriguing national ranking system called the "Virtual Club Championships". While there is no completely accurate way to measure ALL 3000 USA Swimming clubs and rank them against each other, this is by far the closest thing we have to that because it takes into consideration a team's depth as well as the highest level swimmers. Regardless of how you measure up against other teams, if you are able to improve your point total each year, then you know you're on the right track.
Since 2003, PCST has made SIGNIFICANT jumps in the Southeastern Swimming and National Rankings! Our point total have risen to levels we should be very proud of. We are clearly on the move and I hope you are as excited about it as I am because we're going to keep getting better. Below are the national rankings, Southeastern Swimming rankings and PCST point totals over the years so you can track our progress.

Once you see our rankings, you can click on our team name and a detailed report of where our points come from will pop up. This will tell you everyhing from which stroke/events are our strongest, which age groups were our strongest, and which swims were used to contribute to the point total. It's pretty neat so enjoy. :)
I am personally very very proud of the progress our family has made and cannot wait to continue forward into the 100,000 point totals where the big boys roam! :)
CATCH THE WAVE!
