Built on Tradition. Driven by Excellence.

The Dayton RaiderAquatic Center is dedicated to providing the Dayton area with a year-round opportunity to train and to participate in the sport of swimming. This nonprofit organization is designed to allow its swimmers to achieve full potential by providing them with high-quality coaching in a structured setting. Our coaches further advance their abilities by attending conferences and obtaining certifications provided by the American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA).

Our progressive group advancement program allows for swimmers to continually improve their level of performance from age group to senior level to avoid "swimmers' plateau". Our coaches implement a program that teaches balance, core development, propulsion, technique, starts, and turns. Age group swimmers (14-unders) are provided with critical instruction in these areas that is the foundation for success at the senior level (15-over). We strongly feel that swimming is a long-term sport where development at the age group level strongly influences performance at the senior level.
