In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It formally congratulates the Brookwood High School boys swim team for capturing the 2026 GHSA Class 6A State Swimming Championship, describing the team's season and highlighting individual and relay performances, including a state record set by senior Baylor Stanton in the 200 IM. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy for distribution to the team as a keepsake. It does not create any new rule, funding, or legal requirement; its only effect is the formal expression of congratulations by the Senate.
