Legacy

A legacy of excellence

Dad’s Club was founded on the hopes and dreams of a group of parents and families. These visionaries worked together to turn a piece of land into a safe, supportive environment for future generations. Their dream became an integral part of an athletic community, and it spawned a network of friends and lifelong opportunities for athletes, parents, coaches, officials and volunteers.

From our recent Olympians to those who have passed on, we celebrate the accomplishments of our swimmers and coaches, and a legacy of swimming excellence.
