The Fontana Aquatics Club offers a competitive swimming program that is challenging and fun. We are a parent run, family orientated team & have non-profit status. We emphasize hard work and team effort in a sport that is usually seen as an individual effort.
We compete in United States Swimming events all year, and we are part of the San Gorgonio Swim League that competes May-July. Since becoming a year 'round team in 2005, more & more swimmers are qualifying for AA competitions & the Southern California Junior Olympics.
But you don't have to be a Junior Olympic swimmer to join our team! We welcome any child that loves swimming! If you are between the ages of 4 and 18, can swim one lap across the pool on your own, want to work hard and be a part of our swim family, come out to one of our practices and sign up!

The news we've all been waiting for...
We will begin practice at the Fontana Aquatics Center on November 17th! The week of November 10th we will have an orientation/walk-through for all parents & swimmers. Exact day & time TBA.
Don't forget that while we are excited to be going to this new facility, fohi has been our home for 49 years. Any time you have the opportunity to thank a security guard, janitor or can catch Vance, please thank them for allowing us to use their facilities all these years. We've had a very good relationship with the school & it would be nice to let them know how much we appreciate them.
If you need to order scrip, you can download the order form here. Please turn in the form to Gloria at any time.
A big welcome to our new coach, Casey Heinen!
----------------------------------------------------
FAC deadline: Oct. 23rd
This is our inaugural meet! We expect everyone to participate, swimmers & parents alike!
----------------------------------------------------
Change in parent meetings:
Starting in October the meetings will be the first Wednesday of the month rather than Thursday.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! We no longer can park near the pool at the lunch tables. You will be ticketed by school police. You can park at adult ed, front of school, back of school near field/basketball courts or in faculty parking on the North side of the school.
Team suit orders will only be taken in March & October. The only exception would be if we had a large influx of swimmers & could get an order of at least 12.
Because of the number of swimmers entering USS meets, the meet administrators are having to cut swimmers that enter late. Please be aware of meet entry deadlines so that we can enter early & not run the risk of having swimmers from our team not able to swim.
Procedure for meet sign ups: You must have a check attached to the event slip with events circled or your swimmer will not be entered into the meet. Please also pay attention to events with an * & be aware of minimum times required. If you do not understand something about a meet or an event, please ask a board member.
Use the event sheet that is issued to each meet. You can get this at socalswim.org, on left go to upcoming meets, eastern.
