Welcome To Northwest Aquatics (NWA)
"Where every swimmer matters."

Mission Statement:

We strive to make every athlete a better swimmer by focusing on the whole child and the whole experience. 

NWA Training Philosophy:

Coach the complete individual

We look to create a balanced experience by developing technique, racing skills and overall athletic strength. In addition to swimming, one of the important aspects of our program is dryland training.  Click here for details on dryland.

We understand that parents are busy and want their children to have many different athletic experiences.  We encourage our members to swim, run, bike and play other sports. We work with families to offer the best possible swimming program for our athletes.

We create a place for swimmers who want to swim once or twice a week and still be part of a team. We also believe in training swimmers at the national level and encourage our more committed swimmers to dedicate themselves to swimming.

Help athletes create a vision of success

We keep feedback positive, and we work one-on-one with athletes in our program using tools such as training aids; video feedback and instruction; Internet sources; and books to further their understanding of excellence in swimming and what it means to have a championship vision. We understand that goals worth pursuing don't come easily. We focus on the process of trying to reach those goals.

Continuously define a winning team culture

NWA coaches and swimmers set training, attendance and performance goals for each season. We educate swimmers on how to compete and how to thrive under pressure so their expectations for success become a familiar experience.

Professionally develop our coaching and aquatic staff

NWA is dedicated to providing excellent training and education programs for our coaches and staff.
