Mission: To inspire and enable our members to achieve excellence in life and in the sport of swimming.


Philosophy: Every swimmer can be a winner.  Winning is more than first place in a race.  Winning is accomplishing something you have never achieved before.  Winning is upholding our standard of Fun, Focus and F-ort (effort!).  Honor your team, sport and community.

Vision for the future: To provide a comprehensive program that will give all ages of competitive swimmers the opportunity to pursue their goals and learn new skills.  Our goal is to develop a program that has child, parent, and grandparent on the team at the same time!


Emerald Aquatics is a non-profit team that provides on-deck coaching for all ages and ability levels of competitive swimmer. Our kids are a USA Swimming team in the Valley Coast Swim League. Our adults are a part of the US Masters Swimming organization under the Oregon Masters Swimming local masters swim club.

Location
We're located in Eugene, OR, and we swim both outdoors and indoors at Echo Hollow Pool during the winter (it's not that crazy, we promise), and outdoors at Amazon during the summer.


One of our pools: gorgeous!

Ability
In terms of ability: We have some talented swimmers who work incredibly hard. And we have some folks who like to hang out with their friends and be social. Actually, come to think of it, a lot of those are the same people -- probably it has something to do with spending so much time in the pool and the locker room with such great people.

We're blessed with some incredibly dedicated swimmers, and we have quite a few triathletes, too. We work on all the strokes, and you can expect constructive feedback and lots of drills as a part of nearly every workout. There's always one coach on deck, and sometimes more.

Individualized
For both kids and adults, our program can fit your goals. Workouts are similar for everyone in the pool, but individualized to your goals and abilities.

Try us out!
Masters swimmers are welcome to try the team FREE for a week. Kids are welcome to try out -- contact us to set up a time.
