The Deer Lakes Aquatic Club was founded in 1999 to promote fitness, self-motivation skills, sportsmanship, and prepare the local youth for competitive swimming. Our swimmers are registered with both Allegheny Mountain Swimming and USA Swimming. We offer a guided age-group youth program for children age 5 and up. From the beginner to the most competitive and skilled swimmer, DLAC offers instruction for everyone.

Club members practice at the Deer Lakes High School pool.  The pool is typically available to the club Monday through Friday from 5:30-7:30 pm and Saturday mornings.  Swimmers are free attend practice on a flexible schedule that suits their needs. Team suits are not mandatory but appropriate swimming attire and swim goggles are required. Our club participates in a variety of swim meets, from dual meets as a beginner, to qualifying meets such as Age Group Championships and Junior Olympics at the intermediate and advanced levels.

DLAC is managed by a volunteer board of directors. All instruction is provided by experienced coaches.
