In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Brookwood High School boys swim and dive team for capturing the 2025 GHSA Class 6A State Swimming and Diving Championship, the team's eighth state title, with a final score of 409-293 over runner-up Walton. The resolution highlights individual and relay performances, including Baylor Stanton's wins in the 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard backstroke, Michael Stanton's win in the 500-yard freestyle, and the team's victories in the 200-yard medley relay and 200-yard freestyle relay. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team.
