Information about Carlynton Aqua Club
Welcome to the home of the Carlynton Aqua Club Barracudas!
Carlynton Aqua Club (CAC) is a developmental swim club for youth, ages 4-18. CAC competes in the WCPSL (Western Central Pennsylvania Swim League) from October - March. The WCPSL is similar to a YMCA league featuring ~10 teams from the Greater Pittsburgh Area. At CAC, we’re focused on teaching the values of dedication, teamwork, sportsmanship and setting, and reaching goals in a positive, constructive, family-friendly atmosphere. We understand that different athletes have different goals and ability levels. Our club offers a variety of programs to accommodate beginners as well as experienced competitive swimmers.
