St Charles Aquatics

St. Charles Aquatics (SCA) competes in both swim meets and waterpolo meets. During 2024, SCA hosted five multi-day/multi-session, large, invitational-style meets plus three one-day/single session, smaller, dual-style meets. The larger meets served 600 athletes per meet. Smaller meets served under 125 athletes per meet. Volunteers are responsible for running the meets and volunteering at meets is a requirement for membership. The large meets required 250 volunteers, not including officials, who are also volunteers. Total volunteer hours for each large meet was approximately 700-1200 hours. By participating in meets, the athletes learn the value of hard work and develop sportsmanship skills.

St. Charles Aquatics (SCA) invests in its coaching staff through continuing education in swimming and waterpolo. Coaches receive annual training in CPR and athletic training technique to promote a safe learning environment for the athletes and to improve the quality of the instruction provided to SCA members.
