Bearden Middle School Swim Team

Welcome Bearden Middle Bruins!

Hello Bruins! 

Thanks for visiting our swim team site! We aim to have team registration open by the middle of September 2026. Once registration is open, the team parents will make a post on the Bearden Middle Facebook page and you can come back to this site to register.

To give you an idea on the time and overall commitments to the team, below is some quick general info. This is based on past seasons and may change a little this season. If you have any questions, please reach out to this email:[email protected] 

• Practices start right after fall break. 
• Practices are at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center on UT's campus. 
• Practices are usually twice a week at a later time in the evening. Our practice time depends on pool lane availability from UT. For the 2025-2026 season, practices were Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8-9. 
• In the past, our middle schooler swimmers have been welcome to participate in dry land workouts with the high school team 30 minutes before practice starts (don't forget your tennis shoes!).
• We generally have about 4 swim meets (starting in November and going through January) plus the City Championship (at the end of January). Meets can be on weekends and school nights. 
• Swimmers need a solid dark blue or solid black swimsuit for meets. Swimwear with the BMS logo is available for purchase at Swim & Tri (located in the Bearden Food City shopping center) 
• Your registration fee includes a swim cap and team shirt. All other gear is the responsibility of the swimmer.

Welcome to the 2025-2026 Bearden Middle School Swim Team Season! 

Registration is now open! All registration is online, including payment. Please contact us if we can assist with the registration!

Practices will be held at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center (AJAC) at the University of Tennessee on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8pm to 9pm. Each swimmer should bring goggles, a towel, and a water bottle to every practice. Team members will receive a BMS swim cap and T-shirt. The swim coaches report that parking in the garage across from the aquatic center has been OK in the past and recommend parking on the top level.

The calendar for this season's meets is available under the "Signup & Calendar" tab on this website. Parent volunteers are needed for every meet. Volunteering is fun and easy and gives you a front-row view of your swimmer! More information to follow.

We are looking forward to a great season! Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions. Thanks!
