Welcome to Burkwood Aquatic Club

We are parent-run nonprofit organization. We offer a year round swimming program of instruction, training and competition for swimmers ages 4-19 years old. This program strives to instill in young people high self-esteem, personal responsibility, sportsmanship, self-motivation and an understanding of goal setting and achievement; all through the sport of competitive swimming.

The BAC swim program is designed with long-term growth progression in mind. The swim groups are set up so swimmers move from one swim group to the next higher performance group as their skills improve and they mature both physically and emotionally. The coaching staff works together to insure the appropriate and smooth transition from one swim group to the next. MORE>>
