If your child is interested in participating in a USA Swim Club Team you will no longer have to travel to other swimming facilities for this to happen. Beginning August 2016 GAC will launch Spartan Aquatics Club here on the GAC Campus. We will offer an array of group options to encompass children of all ages and skill levels. Stay tuned for schedules and rates. If you have any questions please contact Aquatics Director, Emily Bos. Register now.
Parents typically have to drive their child to another swimming facility for after school swim lessons. To make it easier on families and to expand our after school learning opportunities, GAC is now offering several after school swim lessons on campus in the state-of-the-art Freeman Aquatic Center, home of the swimming and diving teams.
There is an entire suite of swim lessons offered for all ages and abilities. Emily Bos, the Aquatics Program Director, will lead all lessons and lifeguards will be on duty. Whether your child is new to swimming or would like to improve their stroke or technique, there is a swim class at GAC for them.
Swim lessons are offered at an additional cost. See available options below. If you have any questions please contact Emily Bos.
