At ACAC Dolphins, we’re more than just a swim team — we’re a community built on opportunity, growth, and achievement. Serving swimmers ages 5–18, our year-round programs offer a clear pathway for both competitive and developmental athletes to thrive in and out of the water.
Our Programs
Whether you're new to swimming or aiming for the podium, we provide structured, supportive programs throughout the year:
- September to July – USA Swimming Short Course & Long Course Seasons: Our competitive teams train and compete across both seasons, focusing on skill development, race strategy, and personal growth.
- April to May – Spring Tune-Up Clinic: A focused clinic designed to refine technique and get swimmers ready for the summer season.
- May to July – Summer Swim Team: A spirited mix of competition and camaraderie, open to swimmers at both developmental and competitive levels.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of the ACAC Dolphins is a commitment to continuous improvement. Our coaches, directors, and mentors lead by example, constantly advancing their own expertise to ensure every swimmer receives the personalized support they need.
We compete in both the Middle Atlantic Zone of USA Swimming and the Suburban Swim League during the summer. Our competitive environment encourages growth, while our team structure supports every athlete’s unique journey:
- Competitive Team – Grouped by age and skill level, these swimmers train with a focus on excellence and achievement.
- Developmental Team – Designed to nurture emerging swimmers, this team emphasizes skill-building, confidence, and a love for the sport.
Our Values
We believe in more than just fast times and race results. Integrity, respect, and teamwork are the core values that guide our program. We celebrate diversity, support one another, and create an environment where every swimmer can rise to their full potential — in sport and in life.
