As Ontarioβs premier swim club, Markham Aquatic Club has a long history of producing swimming champions. MAC is a non-profit, inclusive community-based swim club, with over 300 swimmers from beginner to high performance, top professional coaches and training at the world-class Markham Pan Am Centre and new community pools. MAC coaches are the top in their profession, offering up-to-the minute kno
wledge and training techniques. The MAC coaching philosophy is to provide opportunities and encouragement for every swimmer to develop their full potential through the pursuit of personal excellence. MAC is a registered member of Swim Ontario and Swimming Canada and FINA. MAC swimmers compete in meets at the local, regional, provincial, national, and international levels. Since its beginning in the 1970s, MAC has been an integral part of the community. The club proudly fosters a sense of 'family', as older swimmers interact with younger ones and family-friendly team bonding events are shared throughout the year. Athletes also enjoy at least one team travel opportunity to compete each season. Operated by a volunteer Board of Directors and a club administrator, parents are the backbone to the club's lasting success. MAC swimmers love their club and their teammates, building bonds and friendships that last a lifetime. After an assessment, our youngest swimmers enter our introduction to competitive swimming program, Olympic Prospects and Top Age Group (TAG). These programs are an excellent gateway into our age-group development programs, Bronze, Silver and Gold. MAC swimmers first learn to train, then train to train and advance into training to compete at the elite level. As they develop proficiency in the physical, technical-tactical, mental, and emotional aspects of competitive swimming, MAC's Senior and Varsity swimmers are well equipped to handle the rigorous training and increased commitment to compete at National and International levels.
