About
The Radnor Aquatic
Club (RAC) is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that
supports the community through a wide array of organized swimming
programs for children of all ages. The club's main objective is to
build a positive attitude towards the sport of swimming amongst all
children, ranging from the developmental to the national level
swimmer.
At the
developmental level, our central focus is having fun and making our
swimmers technically sound so that all children in the Radnor
community are water safe. As children progress and improve
their swimming skills, we offer them the opportunity to swim on our
Varsity squad. Here, they continue to improve their technique
and learn what being a member of a team entails. We pride
ourselves on the team spirit, camaraderie, support and
sportsmanship that our swimmers demonstrate every day at both
practices and swim meets. These are traits that will serve
them well in life, in and out of the water. As our swimmers
get older and progress to the national level, we focus further on
technique and endurance in order to prepare them to move from high
school to college swimming, with an increased passion for the
sport.
