Why Swim With GAC?
Safety First
Strong swimmers are safer swimmers! Athletes learn proficiency in all 4 competitive strokes.
Health & Brain
A fun way to stay active! Swimming develops the mind/body connection and boosts brain health.
Confidence
Overcoming fears and adapting to new water challenges builds self-esteem that lasts a lifetime.
Sportsmanship
Learning that success depends on the hard work of everyone. We cheer for every lane!
More Than Individual Races
Being on a swim team is a unique introduction to teamwork. While individual goals are great, being on a relay teaches that success is dependent on the hard work of everyone involved.
Cheering others on—whether they are in your relay or swimming their own race—is the GAC way.
Evaluation
Before registering, we need to find the perfect group for your swimmer. This is a quick, low-stress pool session (approx 15 mins).
To ensure safety, swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards of Freestyle AND 25 yards of Backstroke, non-stop.
If your child meets this requirement, click below to email Head Coach Dave Dorak.
