MCST
Let's Go Hammerheads-2026
Welcome to the home of the Mt. Carmel Hammerheads Swim Team!
The team practices and competes during the summer and we will begin our 18th season of Hammerhead swimming in 2026! MCST is made up of wonderful families in the Mt. Carmel by the River neighborhood and the surrounding communities. MCST offers a convenient opportunity to experience the fun, fitness, and excitement of competitive age-group swimming close to home! Males and females ages 5-17 years old who can swim one length of the pool without assistance are eligible to join the team. This is a volunteer intense sport, so parental volunteering is required at two meets.
MCST is part of the Rocket City Swim League (RCSL) located in Huntsville, Alabama. Each swim season begins with practice beginning in mid-May and consists of 4 regular season meets (on Wednesday nights in June/July) and a league-wide City Meet concluding the season July 14.
Hammerhead Family,
We are fast approaching the start of the 2026 season with our first practice on May 11. Registration is open for all returning and new swim families, but we plan to close registration at the end of day, this Sunday April 26. Please reach out to any families interested in participating this year. Important notes:
- T-Shirts & Caps: Ordering will close when Registration closes this Sunday 4/26. We will not have another T-shirt order this season. We will have additional caps for sale during the season.
- Volunteer Positions: Swim families are required to sign up for three (3) volunteer positions throughout the season. You can find the link for these opportunities next to each event in the calendar. We recommend you sign up now to hold the positions and events that work best for you. Positions are already filling up.
- Pool Opening Assistance: We will be at the pool this Sunday 4/26 at 4:00 to prepare the pool for opening on May 1. We could use your assistance in moving and cleaning furniture. Please let us know if you have a power washer to bring as well.
- Jr Coaches: We are accepting applications for Jr Coach positions. Jr. Coach positions are open for swim team members 14 years or age or older. These positions assist our coaching staff with all practices. There is an https address below to past into your browser or send an email to [email protected] for a direct link to the application.
We’re looking forward to a great season. Go Hammerheads!
