Swimmer Placement Days Official swimmer placement days are offered on an annual basis in the Fall and Spring. Swimmers only need to attend one evening.

ACAC is a competitive USA Swim Club. As such, we encourage competition at all training levels at some point in a swimmers careers. We do not require meets. It is not uncommon for beginners to go a season or two before doing a meet but we do encourage meets eventually. In order for swimmers to be comfortable competing at swim meets, they need to participate. Once they try racing, they'll quickly realize how much fun it can be! The club will compete in many meets throughout the year giving swimmer's numerous opportunities. We do not require competition, but competing can be an important part of a swimmer's goals. Meets are also great team building events where the swimmers can show their support for their fellow teammates.
