The Rowan Aquatic Club YMCA Swim Team Of Salisbury is a year round YMCA & USA swim team that creates an environment that believes in teamwork, friendship, fun, healthy competition, good sportsmanship, and a strong sense of team. The Club seeks to maximize every swimmer's potential by providing a technique-based/goal oriented program. At RAC we strive to create a love and understanding for the sport of swimming, and all that it can offer throughout a child's life.
In order to be part of the Rowan Aquatic Club, contact the head coach Matt Hall, by phone 704-636-0111 or by email at mhall@rowanymca.com, to set up a time for you to bring your child in so they can be evaluated in the water for correct group placement.
