For over fifty years the Athens Bulldog Swim
Club has been promoting swimming excellence in the greater
Athens area. Founded in the 1940s as the Athens Swim Club, the
team provided generations of Athens area youth an opportunity
to participate in year-round competitive swimming. Throughout
the 50s, 60s and 70s the Athens Swim Club succeeded in making
a name for itself on the local and state level, but it was not
until 1981, when Harvey Humphries took over the duties of head
coach, that the program acquired national recognition. An
Assistant Swim Coach at the University of Georgia, Humphries
added Bulldog to the Athens Swim Club's name, and ABSC has
been making its presence felt on U.S. Swimming ever since.
