Youth swimmers from around Georgia descended on the Frances Meadows Aquatic and Community Center on Saturday for the Georgia Recreation and Park Association Class A State Swim Meet. The three-day event began Thursday and ended Saturday. The center won the bid to play host to the meet last December, welcoming thousands of swimmers and their families throughout the three days.
