Welcome to the San Ramon Aquacats Swim Club!
The San Ramon Aquacats is a recreational swim team located in San Ramon, California. The team consists of nearly 200 swimmers ages 4 to 18. Our swimmers learn to compete in various swim meets and refine their swim technique under the guidance of our excellent coaching staff. We have been serving the local swim community in San Ramon for over three decades! Our swim team is part of the Valley Swim Association (VSA) league consisting of seven local recreational swim teams. Being an Aquacat is a great way for your swimmer to incorporate physical fitness in their lives, learn proper swim technique, and make lifelong friends in the San Ramon community.
We are a parent run team, led by a volunteer Board of Directors. Our focus is to build a strong swim team based on a philosophy that encourages inclusion and personal development of all active members regardless of age or ability; encourages a sound balance between athletics, team spirit, and good sportsmanship; and maintains a high-quality, personalized approach to coaching swimmers at all levels. All swimmers shall be made to feel welcome to practice and participate as active team members. Individual skill development, goal setting, recreational competition, team building, and most importantly, FUN are goals we strive towards. Each swimmer will be encouraged to work toward his or her full potential.
The main Summer Recreational Swim season begins in April and continues through the end of July. For those swimmers with qualifying times, the season can extend through early August with the Contra Costa County Championship Invitational. Registration for the Summer Recreational Swim season opens in January.
The Fall Swim season is an extension of the Summer Rec Swim season. Fall Swim begins in mid-August and continues through December. Fall Swim program fees are separate from the Summer Rec season. Registration for Fall Swim opens in August.
In addition to our two swim seasons, SRAC is proud to offer training programs during certain times of the year. In March, we offer a 4-week Pre-Season Spring Clinics exclusively for current team members. This clinic is a great way to get back into swimming shape after the winter break and gear up for the Summer Rec Swim season. During the winter months, SRAC offers the High School Conditioning Program exclusively for high school students planning to try out for their high school swim team. These training programs are separate from the Summer and Fall swim seasons and require a separate registration and fee.
*Swimmers who have trained with a USA swim program after December 31 are not eligible for the Summer Rec Swim and Fall Swim seasons. San Ramon Aquacats reserve the right to not allow a swimmer onto the team.
