Lower Merion Aquatic Club - Piranhas

Lower Merion High School Pool

Lower Merion Aquatic Club (“LMAC”) was founded in 1967 as a community swimming program. Today LMAC participates in the Suburban Aquatic League (“SAL”), an independent age-group swimming and diving league in the Pennsylvania suburbs of Philadelphia. LMAC is in the West Division of SAL’s National Conference.

LMAC participates in league-sponsored dual and championship meets that begin in early November and end with championship meets in early February. SAL and LMAC are run by parent volunteers according to the SAL Constitution. The mission of SAL and LMAC is to develop skills in the sports of competitive swimming and diving; teach good sportsmanship; and provide a means of healthy self-expression for those participating.

LMAC also sponsors a developmental program called “Mighty Mites”. Mighty Mites are taught the 4 competitive strokes and often graduate to the competitive team.

Until this year, LMAC was sponsored by the Lower Merion School District (“LMSD”). While the new Lower Merion High School is under construction, LMSD decided not to sponsor the program. The LMAC Parent’s Association was determined to continue the program and have taken over responsibility for running the club.
