PCST Named Bronze Medal Club by USA Swimming!

The Panama City Swim Team has been named a Bronze Medal Club for 2014 as a part of USA Swimming's Club Excellence Program.  The Club Excellence Program identifies up to 200 clubs each year (out of nearly 2,800) for overall performance.  PCST ranked 165th nationally for the 2013 swim season, earning the club its first ever Bronze Medal distinction.  Previously, PCST has been close to the top 200, but never quite made it in.  This is a huge honor for our club and is the result of the tireless efforts of our swimmers, parents, coaches, and Board of Directors.  Congratulations to everyone, what a way to close out 2013!
