Woodbridge Aquatic Club (WAC) is a competitive swimming organization dedicated to instilling upon its athletic membership life skills and habits that will continually contribute to their lifelong well-being and citizenship. WAC maintains the belief that a competitive swimming program emphasizing excellence in personal performance, in conjunction with the daily underlying preparations towards such excellence, is an invaluable experience towards the achievement of this end. WAC will make every effort to provide each athlete with the opportunity to achieve his or her personal bests in swimming and in citizenship.

We practice at Beecher Road Elementary School, located at 40 Beecher Road in Woodbridge, Connecticut. The pool is a 6 lane 25 yard meter where WAC practices using all lanes. State of the art digital pace clocks are used during practice. The pool is easily accessible to residents of Woodbridge, Bethany, Orange, New Haven, Derby, and other surrounding towns

All tryouts new to competitive swimming need to participate in an initial 5 – 10 minute skill assessment where they will be asked to swim the length of the pool freestyle, and the length of the pool backstroke. After the skill assessment, each tryout will be assigned to a practice squad to begin a 2 week tryout period.

Tryouts having prior competitive swimming experience may not need a skill assessment. Contact Head Coach Dave Reilly regarding initial squad assignment.

While Woodbridge Aquatic Club accepts new members almost any time of the year, we encourage all tryouts interested in participating with WAC for the 2021-2022 Fall/Winter season (Short Course) to drop by for their skill assessment on one of the following dates:

The assessment is free, the two-week tryout period is $50 (payable to WAC). Tryouts who then join the team will have that $50 applied to their assigned squad’s short course training fee.

All tryouts, once assigned to a practice squad, are invited to participate with that squad for 2 weeks before having to decide if WAC Swimming is the right fit for them. After this 2 week trial period tryouts must declare their intention to join or not join the team.

Swim goggles for all, bathing caps for those having hair past the ears.
