| About Us |
Our History
Tidewater Aquatic Club was founded in March 1994, by parents and was incorporated in the State of Virginia as a tax exempt, non-profit organization. Commonly referred to as "TAC", it is a USA sanctioned team for swimmers ages of five (5) and up. It dedicates itself to the personal development of each team member towards their personal goals in conjunction with working within a high spirited team environment. It is a USS team in the Hampton Roads area that is run by parents. The parent board is responsible for the government of the team; it establishes team policy and dues, and hires coaches. The head coach establishes, manages and directs the goals and vision for TAC's competitive swim program.
Our Coaching Staff offers over 75+ years combined experience from Novice to National Champions and Olympic Medalists. It's our pledge to provide a positive environment where your child receives psychological and emotional support.
Help each child to be the best that they can be
Foster the ideals of sportsmanship, honesty, integrity, and fair play
Help our swimmers achieve a life-long approach to the values of healthy minds and bodies
Our Mission
To become the Southside’s best developmental-to-senior level swim program in both Long Course and Short Course Seasons.
Our Purpose:
We dedicate ourselves to providing a fun, well-disciplined environment of excellence for our swimmers. We support the team’s growth by offering continuing education for both the best coaches and a supportive parent group.
Our Vision:
A member-supported family of swimmers who believes in developing the athlete’s potential, without ever forgetting that swimming is fun.
A focused, talented, confident coaching staff that strives to build the swimmer into a mature student athlete who will reach her/his greatest potential.
A group of parents who strive for the very best performance from their swimmers. A group of parents who work diligently to support the team from an economic and emotional perspective. A group of parents who make all feel welcome in a warm, enjoyable, successful, and passionate atmosphere.
A financially stable organization that supports itself through swimming proceeds and non-profit fundraising.
A team of swimmers, coaches, and parents committed to excellence. A team as much focused on its novice swimmers as its elite swimmers. A team that never forgets that it is the warm personal touch that makes this team what it is and what it will become.
A team that never forgets that there is no “I” in “team”.
WE ARE TIDEWATER AQUATIC CLUB! Thinking and Acting like Champions!
Our Guiding Principles

Continuous improvement is essential to our individual and team success. We will, as teamplayers, strive for a quality swim team in all that we do. Although we may fall short at times, we will never accept mediocrity and will learn from our mistakes.
The Tidewater Aquatic Club is made up of teammates, coaches, families and friends who believe in the charter and guiding principles governing the actions of our team for the benefit of all. This is our Team!
