Our VISION is to build a supportive swim community where athletes of all levels grow in skill, strength, and character both in and out of the pool while fostering a lifelong love of the water.  We hope swimming will encourage our athletes to live a healthy lifestyle and build self-confidence that they can carry with them for a lifetime.  CRA is committed to protecting our athletes' physical, psychological, and emotional welfare. Our MISSION is to empower swimmers to achieve personal excellence in and out of the pool. We hope that through dedicated training, teamwork, and sportsmanship, we will develop strong athletes, confident individuals, and a passion for swimming that will continue into adulthood.
