Cougar Aquatics is a year-round swim-team that develops and nurtures competitive swimmers and those seeking to develop a passion for swimming. We foster a love for swimming as a lifelong physical activity and as a competitive outlet for athletes of various ages and abilities. Cougar Aquatics sees the skill of swimming as an essential life skill for water safety & awareness. To be a part of Cougar aquatics is more than learning how to swim; it is more than flip turns, starts, and mastery over each of the strokes. The development of these skills, alongside of the benefits of physical activity, is core to Cougar Aquatics.  

Equally important to Cougar Aquatics is team, leadership, collaboration.  Cougar Aquatics promote the lifelong skills of teamwork, leadership, accountability, respect, goal setting, dedication, & honesty. To achieve this, Cougar Aquatics creates a positive learning environment for all athletes to feel safe & welcome where they can learn, grow, & socialize to create lifelong friendships.

Our vision is for swimming to be available to athletes year-round through the model presented by USA Swimming and Cougar Aquatics. Our overarching goal is to help athletes set goals and achieve their own goals, whatever they may be. All athletes are different from one another and have different goals, so we adapt our training and expectations for each athlete. Some athletes are here to learn to swim, others for the social experience, some to swim at the national or world scale, & for some it’s a mixture of all of these.
