Welcome to 2009 Fall Registration at the LancasterAquatic Club (LAC). LAC provides instruction for swimmers of all ages and abilities, ranging from beginners to National qualifiers. We run an Individual Medley based program with a focus on all four strokes. In our younger age groups , we promote the sport of swimming with a heavy focus on technique and a requirement that the swimmers have a lot of fun! As swimmers progress through the various training groups including Senior group, the core values of Individual Medley training, dryland training and technique continue. As swimmers reach the Senior group, we expect a serious commitment to the sport so we can help each athlete realize their full potential.
The Mission of Lancaster Aquatic Club is to demonstrate a tradition of swimming excellence through Leadership, Achievement and Commitment.
