Our program has produced as many smiles as champions.
We like to think of ourselves as an extended family that likes to be together and swim together
Our goal is to have a quality team, not just a large number of swimmers. This formula has been very successful. As a result, we are selective but welcome all. Each season we assess your swimmer for not only their ability but we look at their character, their willingness and desire to learn.
Our swimmers receive personal coaching from USA Swimming accredited coaches. Most of the coaches grew up in the Glenview area and want to give back to their community. GTAC mainly swims at GBS' pool but in the summer, we take it outside and swim at either Roosevelt or Flick pools.
Swimming is not only great exercise but it builds self-confidence and teaches our swimmers life-long lessons:
- Hard work and dedication pays off
- Competition is challenging, fun and rewarding
