Registration fee is $85.00!  Limited space is available, however drop-ins are possible!  For more information, contact your coach!  

Please come prepared to train by stretching at home before leaving for the pool, or arrive early and stretch at the facility.  Strict timelines will be maintained and enforced as swimmers are expected to be prepared to physically enter the water exactly at the notated start times.  

Just a reminder to hydrate prior to and post workout; be sure to have a sturdy lunch beforehand and a big dinner after.  You're going to need it!  

Coach Nick is excited to run the camp!

re: Aces Fall Invitational Meet Results!

 Congratulations  is definitely in order for everyone's accomplishments during the meet this weekend!  We faced tough competition against large teams, and ended up with some best times, new qualifiers, close races & lots of finals!

The coaches are very proud of everyone!

Once again,a  SPECIAL  thanks to all of our parents + siblings who came to cheer on their swimmers, and the volunteers who officiated!  (Specially on the toasty pool deck!)

WAAC scored the 10+U, 11+12, 13+14, 15+O combined; the age groups weren't scored individually. Out of the 9 teams in attendance, we came in 7th overall!  The boys came in 7th and our girls came in 5th!  Great job! 

We discovered a fun meet, a new pool (in the middle of nowhere), the difference between 'Kitchener' + 'Waterloo',  
and we will definitely come back again next year!
