In the past 9 years, Connecticut Aquatic Club has produced the top swimmers in the Southeast CT Area, but more importantly the swimmers have succeeded in the pool and in the classroom. Here are a few accolades involving academics and swimming, plus a list of colleges that CAC swimmers have went on to. It is very challenging to combine academics and swimming and succeed at both. Because CAC only asks the older swimmers to practice a limited time, they can focus more time on academics while still getting enough pool time to be the best program in the area.

4 Academic All-American Athletes (winter USA Jr National swimmers)

50+ Connecticut Scholar Athletes

Here is a list of schools that CAC swimmers have gone on to college. (Not all swam at college but the list is VERY IMPRESSIVE that shows that the balance of school & swim works really well at CAC.
