West Austin Athletic Club
Swim and Fitness Center

WAAC is the result of a vision for a facility which could serve as a stable training place for the athlete in each person, regardless of age or ability.  The goal is to create a facility and environment to help people, young and old, maintain a healthy lifestyle while enjoying the facilities learning about the sports of swimming, diving, tennis, and weight training/aerobics.

WAAC is a private Club which supports a membership and has instructional programs which members and non-members can participate in.  The emphasis of all programs is personal improvement.  This is accomplished for young athletes and adults new to a sport through quality instruction and much encouragement.  For more elite athletes the programs help set specific training routines to match the athlete's goals.  Whether an athlete's goal is to finish the Danskin or compete at  Swimming Nationals, WAAC coaches work to help the goal be reached.

WAAC members can utilize the facilities at any time the Club is open.  Members can bring guests to the Club and have parties at the Club.  Members pay lower training fees, are provided previews of Club events, and are provided with monthly specials.  WAAC adult members can attend swim classes for free.

WAAC has been open since July 1999.  Original facilities included the fitness center, and pools.  The tennis courts and playground were added two years later.  In 2007 two new pools were added to allow membership and programs adequate space in the fall, spring, and summer.

Options for membership include Family or Individual.  Family memberships are annual (12 months) or summer (May 15-September 15).  Individual memberships are annual (12 months) or monthly (one month at a time).

WAAC also provides quality instruction in swimming, diving, and tennis for youth and adults.  During the summer half day and full day camps are available for children aged 4-14.  WAAC is home to the USA Swimming team, West Austin Aquatics and a USMS Team.

WAAC is family-oriented and offers a welcoming environment.  We hope you will join us.

Club Manager, Susan Walsh, is pleased to give potential members tours or passes to try out the facilities.  She can also talk about membership, classes and other programs at WAAC. To contact her please call 263-4282.  Questions can also be emailed to  susan@wfly.com.
