History of Neely Mallards
Mighty Mallards - 30 Years Strong
The Neely Farm Mallards formed in the Summer of 1988. At the time, less than 30% of the homes in Neely Farm were complete, but approximately 50 kids came out to swim that inaugural season. They joined forces with 30 other swimmers from Peachtree Plantation West and Spalding Glen and competed in the Sandy Springs Swim Association (SSSA).
When the Neely Farm team grew to 100 kids, it broke away from the other neighborhoods and joined the Dekalb/Atlanta Swim and Dive League.
From 2003 to 2006, the Neely Farm Mallards swam in the Gwinnett County Swim League (GCSL). In 2007, the Neely Mallards moved to the Atlanta Swim Association (ASA) where we are still a member.
