| WEST ALLEGHENY AQUA CLUB / W.A.A.C. What are we ? We are a competitive Swim Team and are members of United States Swimming; Allegheny Mountain Chapter; Located in Western PA. adjacent to the Pittsburgh Airport Area. 14 miles from PGH & 20 miles from Weirton W.V. and Steubenville Ohio areas. West Allegheny High School 205 West Allegheny Rd, Imperial PA. 15126 Our TEAM is generally about 85 to 100 swimmers depending on winter / summer season. The TEAM is for swimmers ages 6 and up, and the majority of middle school and high school swimmers at West Allegheny train and compete with WAAC. This is a key reason for the success of West Allegheny High School & Middle School Swim Teams. We also allow a percentage of our team to be out of district, and have members from PA., West Va., and Ohio areas. Our fall / winter season runs from 2nd week of September to mid March, and then spring / summer season goes from early May till end of July. Most practices are at West Allegheny High School Pool, although in summer time we train 3 days a week at the Starvaggi Pool, an outdoor 50 Meter L.C. pool in Weirton West Virginia. The cost depends upon the group the swimmer trains in and which season it is or if you decide to be a year round member. Contact us for info we will be happy to talk to you to help you place your swimmer and give you cost ideas. Our TEAM offers a variety of training levels from beginner to national level competitors. Our Ripple Group is for beginner swimmers, ages 6 to 11. They practice two to three days a week and competitions are on weekends. Beginner swimmers need to not be afraid to put face in water, go under water, and need to be able to swim at least one length of a 25 yard pool - any stroke or fashion is acceptable to start. Our Breaker Group is for 8 to 12 year olds with moderate training and competition experience. Some new swimmers ages 11 -13 may also be placed here. Competitions are on weekends. Whitewater Group consists of strong experienced 9 to 13 year old swimmers. Generally we have 6 practice sessions a week available and encourage swimmers to make a minimum of 4 per week. Competitions are on weekends. Tsunami Group is for dedicated and strong competitive swimmers that are High School age and above. Anywhere from 6 to 9 practices my be offered during the week and we want and expect these swimmers to be in the 90% attendance avg. Competitions are weekends but most also compete in their High School Meets and sometimes travel meets are on the schedule. We are a competitive TEAM and all of our swimmers need to compete in meets regularly. The level of meets a swimmer competes in is determined by age, ability, desire and willingness to commit to learning and training. Please contact us if you have questions or interest in our program / TEAM. We have sign ups in late summer for Fall / Winter season and late April for Summer season. Although you may contact us at anytime during the season about joining or trying out for a few days. Contact Coach Bob about giving a few practices a try to see if it is for you. |
