Parents often ask us, “What makes ODAC different?”

It’s a fair question.

Every swim team has talented athletes.
Every swim team celebrates fast swims.
Every swim team has trophies and records.

But when we asked our graduating seniors to reflect on what swimming meant to them, they didn’t write about medals or podiums.

They wrote about confidence.
They wrote about resilience.
They wrote about discipline.
They wrote about friendships that became family.
They wrote about the coaches who believed in them and the lessons they’ll carry for the rest of their lives.

That’s the legacy we strive to build every day at ODAC.

If you’re looking for more than just a swim team—if you’re looking for a place where your swimmer can grow as both an athlete and a person—we’d love to welcome you to our family.

👉 Swipe through to discover The ODAC Difference.

Registration is opening soon, and we’d love for your family to become part of the next generation of ODAC.

🚨 BUBBLE UP WEEKEND IS HERE! 🫧🏊‍♂️💪

It’s one of the BIGGEST team efforts of the year, and WE NEED YOU, ODAC FAMILY! 💙💛

This weekend, we’re raising the bubble at Great Bridge Swim & Racquet Club, transforming our outdoor pool into the indoor training facility that keeps our swimmers in the water all winter long!
But here’s the thing… it takes 50+ VOLUNTEERS to make Bubble Up a success! 🙌

This is no small operation, and we need ALL HANDS ON DECK!

💪 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Whether you’re a seasoned Bubble Up veteran or a first-timer ready to lend a hand, there’s a place for you! Many hands make light work, and every volunteer makes a difference.

🍕 HELP FEED OUR CREW! We’re also looking for families to donate food, snacks, and drinks to keep our hardworking volunteers fueled throughout the operation. Can’t help with the physical work? Providing food is another great way to contribute!

🏊 WHY IT MATTERS: This bubble provides a year-round swimming home for our ODAC athletes and supports high school swimming, swim lessons, competitions, and our greater swimming community.

MONSTER MAYHEM — WHAT A WEEKEND FOR ODAC! 💛💙

With the conclusion of ODAC’s Monster Mayhem, we want to congratulate ALL of our swimmers on an outstanding weekend of racing! From first-time competitors to experienced racers, our athletes stepped onto the blocks, competed hard, and represented Old Dominion Aquatic Club exceptionally well.

And the results speak for themselves:
🔥 61 NEW B TIME STANDARDS
🔥 19 NEW BB TIME STANDARDS

That’s 80 NEW USA Swimming motivational time standards achieved by ODAC athletes in a single weekend!

These accomplishments represent much more than numbers on a results sheet. They reflect the hard work, consistency, courage, and competitive growth our swimmers are putting into the pool every day. Every new standard is another step forward—and another sign that this team is building momentum. Now, we turn our attention to November!

The excitement is building. The coaches are preparing. The swimmers are working. The expectations are rising. And we cannot wait to see what this group accomplishes next.

Congratulations, ODAC! Keep working. Keep racing. Keep raising the standard.

💛💙 GO ODAC! 💙💛 by @odac_swim

🎃👻 ODAC TRUNK ’N TREAT IS BACK! 👻🎃

One of our favorite ODAC traditions is creeping back onto the pool deck — and we’re ready for a spooktacular night with our swim family! 🧡💜

🚗🍬 TRUNK ’N TREAT
📅 Thursday, October 15
⏰ 7:00–8:00 PM
📍 Great Bridge Swim & Racquet Club — Pool Deck

Swimmers and families, grab your costumes and come ready to trick-or-treat your way around the pool deck! No practice. No pace clock. Just costumes, candy, decorated trunks, and a little Halloween fun with the people who make ODAC feel like home. 🏊‍♂️🎃

🍭 BUT FIRST… WE NEED YOUR HELP!
To make sure there’s plenty of loot for all our little ghosts, goblins, and swimmers, we’re asking ODAC families to help us FILL THE CANDY BINS!

Beginning THIS WEEK, Halloween-themed collection bins will be available at both Honey Bee and Great Bridge. Toss in a bag—or a few bags—of individually wrapped candy on your way into practice.

🍫 One bag helps.
🍬 A few bags help even more.
🎃 A whole team pitching in makes the magic happen!

We have nearly five decades of traditions at ODAC, and nights like this are a big part of what makes this team about so much more than swimming. Come make some memories with us! 🧡🖤💜

💙💛 A pretty awesome Saturday in Charlottesville! 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️

Our Senior swimmers have wrapped up their Saturday session of the Cavalier Fall Classic at the Brooks Family YMCA, but their day of swimming isn’t over yet!

Next stop ➡️ UVA! ⚔️

The team headed over to watch the University of Virginia take on Navy and get an up-close look at collegiate swimming in action!

And the day already came with a pretty incredible bonus — our swimmers had the opportunity to meet Olympian and World Record Holder Gretchen Walsh! 🤩

Racing together, cheering together, and getting to watch some of the best in the sport compete — not a bad way to spend a Saturday in Charlottesville!

Then it’s back to racing tomorrow to finish out the weekend strong! 💪
