Bakersfield Aquatic Club

BAC is an excellent environment, whether your child is at a competitive level or just getting started. All skill levels are welcomed, there is a place for everyone. All 4 of my kids started at different levels, and have grown so much. They've grown not just as swimmers but as well rounded athletes. BAC fosters a love of swimming and health in general.

If you are looking for a good swim team that also provides fun and friendly competition you should check out BAC. It has a group for every level swimmer that is water safe. As spring approaches it also has a smaller group for kids still learning to swim. The parents are wonderful. You will just love the swim family. The coaches are fun and supportive. They are interested in helping every swimmer obtain their goals. It's gonna start to get hot so what could be better than swimming.

This is our fourth year with BAC. Our daughter loves it. It is a friendly, no pressure enviroment, and they try to work with parents to keep it affordable. Living in East Bakersfield, there is not much available for kids, I am often driving across town. I feel lucky to have found this little gem on our side of town (super close to home).

Tina and the staff at Bakersfield Aquatics Club are amazing. Teachers/coaches make their students and newcomers feel at ease and welcome.

I gave this place five stars, as I have been there many times, and it just so happens that my family donated the funds in order to build this facility to make a beautiful place for Bakersfield. I think it's great because it gets so hot in Bakersfield in the summer time and it's a great family place for everyone. With the swimming pools and the waterslides, it's just a blast to be there. I hope everybody's enjoying it. Also there is the skating rink right next door and around the corner a movie theater, so there is so much to do. Love it and highly recommend it.

Our two daughters joined Bakersfield Aquatics Club in September of 2015, after swimming for years on a local recreational league team. We had scouted the other USA Swim affiliated clubs in Bakersfield and decided to give BAC a try. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The coaches and staff of the club are some of the most experienced, dedicated, and caring educators we have ever encountered. The level of instruction is excellent and the sense of family among the swimmers, parents and staff is incredible.Our girls have benefited in more than just time improvements, although they have dropped time significantly in every stroke and at every distance. What is more important to us is that they have bonded with their teammates and their coaches to such a great extent. Derek, Zak, Christian and all the rest of the coaches and staff truly care about the kids - not just their athletic development. The fact that the club focuses so heavily on team-building among the swimmers helps to create an environment in which the kids can grow physically and emotionally. We have only been with the club for seven months, but it feels like we never swam anywhere else. Our only regret is that we didn't join earlier.
