Mission

Competitive swimming offers an exciting and valuable experience in a young person’s life.  These experiences can be enjoyed by those of moderate ability as well as those with Olympic potential.  The value of swimming goes beyond just learning skills in the water and racing.  Every participant can gain knowledge, skill, and confidence from his or her experiences. 
Scenic City pursues excellence in competitive swimming by seeking to maximize the potential of each individual.  We provide a challenging and stimulating team atmosphere where everyone can benefit.  Our swimmers develop skills in setting goals while enjoying the thrill of achieving personal and team victories. Qualities such as loyalty, honesty, fair play, integrity, perseverance, and self discipline are also stressed.
 

Most importantly, we have fun.


On Competition - Scenic City swimmers participate in USA swimming sanctioned meets at the local, regional, and national level.  Meets are selected that have appropriate standards allowing all of our swimmers, from novice to national champion, to compete at their own skill level.
Careful planning insures competition that is enjoyable and challenging.  Coaches will advise swimmers regarding which events to enter in each meet.  Younger swimmers are encouraged to enter all strokes and distances in order to give them a broad range of experiences.

On Year Round Swimming - Scenic City is a year round USA swimming team.  Our program is divided into 2 seasons with a championship meet at the end of each. 
Short Course - September-March - We practice and compete in a 25 yard format during this season.
Long Course - April-August - During this season, we will be focusing on swimming 50 Meters in our competitions.  Our indoor pools will be switched to 25 meters to help in the transition.  The Olympics are held in the 50 meter format. 
We feel that our lower coach to swimmer ratio, the high level of training, and the experience of our staff makes swimming for Scenic City the best thing for our swimmers.

Scenic City wins Bronze Level Status in USA Swimming’s Club Excellence Program!

Scenic City was chosen as one of the Top 200 teams in the country out approximately 2,800 total teams.  This is the second year in a row we have been chosen for such an honor.  Congratulations SCAC swimmers, parents, and coaches!


For the rest of our meets of the 2010 season, the coaches will enter the swimmers in the meet and the parents will only need to let us know if their child can not swim before the entry deadline.  The bill for the entry fee will then just be added to that month’s Scenic City Aquatic Club billing.  Again, you will only need to tell your coach that you will not be swimming in the meet.  For all future meets, being with this one, your coach will be doing all meet entries.  This will assure that our swimmers do not miss entry deadlines.  We feel this will greatly help us with meet participation.  We would love to see our team represented better at all meets.  More swimmers = more fun!  The coaches will also be responsible for the assignment of events for each swimmer so they will swim the best events for their abilities and needs.
