About Our Members
There is no prerequisite swimming experience required to become a member; in fact, a few of our members don’t even know how to swim and many of our members never swam in competition. Our Member base includes nearly every profession, race, religion and creed. Our members are men and women, fans, parents, coaches, swimmers, divers, water polo players, synchronized swimmers, physically challenged athletes, referees and administrators. They work as educators, business people, doctors, lawyers, sales people, laborers, policeman, firefighters, lifeguards, politicians, engineers, etc. Our members have served our country's highest office, flown in space, led our soldiers into battle, won Olympic gold medals, built financial empires, made movies, saved lives and imparted wisdom. Our members share one common bond: their love for swimming.
