Welcome to Burkwood Aquatic Club

We are parent-run nonprofit organization. We offer a year round swimming program of instruction, training and competition for swimmers ages 4-19 years old. This program strives to instill in young people high self-esteem, personal responsibility, sportsmanship, self-motivation and an understanding of goal setting and achievement; all through the sport of competitive swimming.

The BAC swim program is designed with long-term growth progression in mind. The swim groups are set up so swimmers move from one swim group to the next higher performance group as their skills improve and they mature both physically and emotionally. The coaching staff works together to insure the appropriate and smooth transition from one swim group to the next. MORE>>

Qdd Snowflake Meet A tremendous performance this past weekend.  The team picked up 94 new higher times standards including 30 new BB qualifying standards for Region Championships.  Meghan Coleson led the way with five new higher time standards (3 BB's and 2 B's), folowed by four for Jordan Burris and Jacob Moyar. 12 year old Savannah Kramer achieved her first ever A time. 14 year old Josh Carter achieved a new A time in the 200 IM. 12 yr old Anna Sager earned her first new BB times in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, while 9 yr old Kaitlyn DeWitt, 9 yr old Kelsi Lenart and 8 yr old Ashley Zicafoose acheived their first B times ever.  9 yr old Patrick Townsend got his first A time (50 back) while Katie Frederick qualified for Region Champs in the 100 IM.  New AAA times standards were set by Shane Condon (200 im), Andrew Dunne (100 free, 100 im), and Wyatt Grubb (200 fly).  Wyatt's time in the 200 fly (2:07.37) was the lone Senior Champ cut made at the meet.  New double AA time standards were set by Sarah Burnley (100 and 200 back), Matthew Cook (100 IM, 100 fly), Ben Gastrock (100 breast), Wyatt Grubb (50 free), Lindsay Jefferson (200 im), Molly Murphy (200 im, Graham Roper (100 free), Caitlin Sargeant (200 im), Jack Stockhausen (200 breast), and Mitchell Turnage (100 fly). 

Just a reminder, BAC does not follow school closings.  A determination upon whether we have practice or not is dependent upon 1. Whether or not BSRC is open.  2. Safety of travel to and from practice.  As always you should use your own discretion (with safety in mind) whether or not to attend practices.

Check the website or call the office for updates.  As a final resort call Coach George at 516-7378. 

PICTURE COMMITTEE

Wendy and Rob Johnson are heading up the team's end of year video that we show at the Team Award's Ceremony. Wendy is looking for a few volunteers who would like to serve on the Picture Committee. Basically she is looking for parents who would like to take pictures at swim meets, practices, and other team functions and then send them to her for both publication on the team website during the year and to use for the video at the end of the year. If you already have pictures (or video) that you would like to donate to the cause, and/or would like to serve on the committee and help provide a historical tracking of the team through pictures please contact Wendy Johnson at either Hailey_Annie@comcast.net or 804-550-2154.
