About San Diego Aquatic Club

We are a community-based aquatics program dedicated to providing the youth of North County San Diego, including Rancho Bernardo and Rancho Penasquitos, the opportunity to be the best that they can be. A professional staff guides all of SDAC's aquatics programs.

SDAC is designed to meet the needs of all ages and abilities. We take pride in teaching swimmers the proper techniques and skills they will need to reach their fullest potential both in the pool and in life. Every participant in the program is evaluated and placed in the appropriate group based off their needs and well being. Proper fundamentals and technique are emphasized at all levels making a natural transition to the next level.

Our Mission

At the San Diego Aquatic Club, we strive to provide individualized training, while our teaching system encourages young people to develop character and self-discipline through excellence in swimming so as to be champions in life. We instill in today's youth the physical, mental, and social responsibility that it will take to become tomorrow's leaders.

Tryout Process

Team tryouts are conducted at designated times throughout the year. All swimmers (new and returning) will be required to participate in annual tryouts. The tryouts are designed to assess swimmer ability and aptitude. Each practice group has a specific set of criteria that swimmers must satisfy in order to become a member of SDAC. Once tryouts are completed, you will receive information regarding training and competition schedules. For an explanation of the SDAC groups, please see the Programs page.

Please carefully review the tryout and registration forms located on our Forms page.
