About Mt. Lebanon Aqua Club
Mission...
Mt. Lebanon Aqua Club is a non-profit organization formed to instruct and train children in the development of competitive swimming skills.
Philosophy...
Swimmers who learn correct swimming technique from the very beginning are stronger and therefore safer swimmers throughout their life. It is our goal to develop confident, safe swimmers who will enjoy the sport whether they go on to join a competitive team or just join friends at the pool. Our staff of professional coaches train and supervise a team of high school and college age instructors. We are very proud of the quality programs we offer to the community of Mt. Lebanon.
Values...
Trust, Belief, Committment!
History...
For over fifty years our swimmers have competed on local, regional, national, and international levels. We have even had one of our swimmers participate in the Olympics. In addition, for more than twenty years we have offered swimming lessons to the public. Lessons are offered in the spring at the High School pool and in the summer at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center outdoor Pool.Our Instructional programs are advertised in MT. LEBANON MAGAZINE, THE ALMANAC, on Cable Channel 7, and through fliers that are distributed to all Mt. Lebanon public and parochial elementary schools and many of the local preschools.
