Who are We?

Founded in 2001, Friends' Central Aquatics is a comprehensive swim program open to the community. Hosted by Friends’ Central School, FCA offers swimmers of all levels the opportunity to pursue their interest in the sport. The Swim School introduces young people to swimming and focuses on developing proficiency in the four primary strokes. The Swim Team provides swimmers the chance to hone their skills while participating in the exciting world of competitive swimming. All swimmers work at their own level of competency, and the staff strives to balance the demands of competitive training with attention to swimming as a life-long source of pleasure.

FCA has helped many athletes make the jump to collegiate swimming. Our swimmers have gone on to achieve notable success at schools like Denison, Williams, Amherst, Wesleyan, Hamilton, Tufts, Washington University in St. Louis, Occidental, and Bryn Mawr, to name just a few.
