Club Swim Team

Welcome to the WEST Coast Aquatics Club Team. We are a nationally recognized program committed to fostering excellence both in and out of the pool. As the owners and operators of our facility, our team has a number of unique resources that directly benefit our swimmers. Despite our small size, we remain competitive against teams much larger than us; believing wholeheartedly in quality over quantity. We are more than a swim team, we are an aquatic community!
