Senior
Group

13 and over swimmers who are focused on USA Swimming Competition.
This is the highest level offered by Portland Aquatic Club.
Swimmers are offered 6- 11 workouts per week in order to achieve
goals from State to Zones, to Nationals and Olympic Trials. The
highest level of commitment is expected to the team, your teammates
and yourself. Swimmers are expected to do their best to become the
best they can be. Swimmers are expected to participate in
additional activities out of the water such as team and individual
dry land sessions, goal setting, swimmer/ coach meetings, team
meetings, bonus workouts, and to be a role model for PAC’s up
