is a year-round USA Swimming program for the youth of Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette, and surrounding areas. Established in 1995, we are a non-profit organization that exists to benefit all interested swimmers. Our programs are directed at all levels of swimming and dedicated to the maximum development of each swimmer as an athlete and as an individual. The motto of Orinda Aquatics, "Character First",
is preached and lived daily by coaches and swimmers, alike. The overriding philosophy is that participation in youth sports can and should be a life enhancing experience and not an activity in and of itself. This program emphasizes structure, teamwork, integrity and discipline - the better the person, the better the athlete, the better the swimmer. It is the programs and the coach's objective that the benefits of swimming, and of Orinda Aquatics, go far beyond the pool. Orinda Aquatics is a true community program, serving nearly 1,000 swimmers in the Lamorinda Area. Our team is comprised of approximately 100 year-round swimmers, 25 college swimmers, over 500 Fall (summer-recreational) swimmers, 125 high school pre-season swimmers, and swimmers who participate in our spring clinics. In addition, we have a Masters program for adults ages 19 and up.
