Why Nashville Aquatic Club?
Fun & Friends
At all levels of the program, we want our swimmers to have fun, work hard, and make friends! Although swimming is largely thought of as an individual sport, the social side of swimming is very important. Your child will be a part of a supportive community, learn to be a great teammate, and create bonds with friends and coaches which will have a positive impact on their social health and well-being.
Trusted Coaches
All of our coaches are professionally trained and certified. We have 8 full time staff members with over 125 years of experience as full-time coaches and over 20 assistant coaches.
Skill Development
Since 1975, NAC has has been providing swimmers with the tools they need to develop, refine their skills, and reach their goals! Whether you’re looking to try a new sport, improve your fitness and skills, or make it to the Olympics one day, there is a place for you at NAC!
Life-long Fitness
Swimming is a life-saving skill that promotes life-long health and well-being. Physical activity also has brain health benefits for school-aged children, including improved cognition (e.g., academic performance, memory) and reduced symptoms of depression. While at NAC, swimmers are learning a fun, low-impact, way to exercise that they can utilize for the rest of their lives.
