Eau Claire Aquatic Club (ECAC) is a non-profit organization open to the public. ECAC is designed exclusively for educational, competitive and recreational purposes and is geared for children ages 5-18. ECAC is part of the Central Wisconsin Swim Conference, which is divided into 2 divisions: East and West. We are part of the West Division.
We practice at Northstar Middle School and Delong Middle School.
ECAC is dedicated to providing youth in the community with the opportunities to:
- Achieve swimming proficiency in four basic strokes: Freestyle, Breaststroke, Backstroke and Butterfly.
- Compete as an individual as well as part of a team. The swimmer will work toward stroke and time improvement. They will learn and be expected to demonstrate good sports character.
- Have fun. It’s fun to practice with teammates, meet new friends at swim meets and take part in new experiences. ECAC values each swimmer as an important member of the team.
Our coaches and our club recognize that each swimmer joins the team with varying abilities and goals. Of primary importance is the swimmer’s commitment to perform to his or her best at practices, and at meets. When a young person becomes a member of the Eau Claire Aquatic Club he/she learns the value of sportsmanship and teamwork. Swimming through ECAC provides physical, emotional and intellectual skills that will last a lifetime.
