Dear Swimmers, Families and Friends,
Welcome to the 40th year anniversary of GTAC! On this website, we hope you will find all that you need to know about our club. If you have any inquiries, feel free to call our 24 hour hotline at 419.531.2800. That is also the place to call if you want to check on last-minute practice cancellations due to weather (the coaches will leave a recording if there are emergency changes), have questions about swim lessons, or the current team registration information. If you want to leave a message for one of our coaches at the pool, call 419.531.7121. Our coaches are happy to talk with you anytime outside of practice time. Finally, you are always welcome to e-mail our head coach, Keith Kennedy, at kkjrswim@yahoo.com
We are proud to carry on the tradition of swimming excellence started by Coach Pete Malone and supported by many fine coaches and generous parents throughout the years. As you can see by the website, GTAC continues its outreach through a swim lesson program for central city children through the Josh Project (be sure to see the video!), adapted swimming with WaterWorks for children with disabilities, the ever-expanding GTAC Disability Open, new programming with two new meets, and achievement both in the pool (new state and national age-group records plus many new GTAC records) and in the academic world (congrats to our Scholastic All-Americans!). Most recently, GTAC was honored by USA Swimming for its outstanding work: Since 2002, we have received the USA Swimming National Club Excellence Award, one of only 200 clubs in the nation to be so recognized. In addition, through USA Swimming's Club Recognition Program, GTAC has been designated as a Level 4 Club. That is the highest rank given by USA Swimming. That means that GTAC is a full-service swim club with all of the necessary ingredients in place to provide the most stable and top knotch swimming environment and finest coaching in the area. Congratulations to our swimmers, coaches and parents who work so hard to make GTAC one of the best clubs in the nation.
Our Mission Statement: GTAC's purpose is to set the stage for each swimmer to achieve his/her highest potential in a coach-run, athlete-centered, parent-supported club organization. We would be happy to welcome you to our GTAC family. We are excited about the vision that Coach Kennedy has set for our swimmers, and the results speak for themselves. If you have any questions about your child’s swimming, you are encouraged to talk one-on-one with your child’s coach directly, before or after practice or by appointment. If you are just joining GTAC, our office manager will make you feel welcome and answer any questions you may have. We have a parents' handbook which is very helpful, and our "senior" swim families are always eager to help new families in any way.
Thank you for your interest in GTAC. We truly believe that this is the best place to swim in the Greater Toledo area and one of the finest swim programs in the nation. Welcome, and Go GTAC!
Your GTAC Booster Parents
Liz and Kevin Booth
