About OAC
Olympic Aquatic Club (OAC), founded in 1980, is known for a first-class,
year-round swim program. We offer a guided age-group youth program
based on the "Boomer" technique for swimmers age 6 and up, from entry level to the
elite competitor.
The OAC Mission
To develop the character traits, technical skills and intense desire necessary for realization of each individual’s greatest potential.
The OAC Philosophy
Is encompassed in the words COURAGE and PERSEVERANCE. PERSEVERANCE is a cornerstone of success in any challenging endeavor and a challenge can not be met without testing and expanding ones limits.
COURAGE allows one to face the fear, difficulty, and uncertainty embodied within a challenge. PERSEVERANCE and COURAGE are key qualities that help one transcend difficult times. They allow the individual to find the
true strength of their character both physical and mental. The Olympic Aquatic Club believes that COURAGE and PERSEVERANCE developed by the competative swimmer, will help prepare the individual for the challenges they will face throughout life.
Our Coaches
The coaches’ job is to supervise the entire competitive swim program. Olympic Aquatic Club coaching staff is dedicated to the OAC Mission and Philosophy.
and works together closely to provide programs that enable each swimmer to develop the character traits, technical skills and intense desire necessary for realization of each individual’s greatest potential.
