About Us

Who is Rockwood Swim Club?

The Rockwood Swim Club Association (RSCA) is a nationally renowned swimming organization that provides swimming programs for student athletes of all ages and talent levels.  The programs include swim lessons for young children and developmental swimming competition, which progresses all the way to the National Team level that competes at national meets such as the U.S. Open, Speedo Junior National Championships, and the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.

The Rockwood Swim Club SwimAmerica program provides swim lessons for children ranging from 5 to 16 years of age.  This program includes over 80 qualified coaches and instructors to meet the demands of our ever-growing program – and is intended to promote family wellness and fitness, water safety, and overall promotion of the sport of swimming.

Facilities:

Rockwood Swim Club maintains and operates numerous 25 yard indoor pool facilities in West St. Louis County.  In addition, in the summer of 2005 we opened a state-of-the-art 50 meter outdoor, above-ground pool that is virtually identical to the pool facilities used in the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Long Beach, CA.

Proof of Success:

We are proud of all our athletes who develop, train and compete with the Rockwood Swim Club.  In excess of 250 of our student athletes have gone on to earn athletic / academic scholarships at the college level; at least 15 U.S. Olympic Team Trials qualifiers; over 75 Junior National qualifiers; over 25 Senior National qualifiers; and 2 World Record holders. 

Mission Statement:

Rockwood Swim Club is a member of USA Swimming, the National Governing Body for competitive swimming in the United States.

We provide superior coaching, training, state-of-the-art pool facilities and training equipment, and a learning environment designed to bring out the best in all our athletes at every level of their development.  We strive to provide an exciting and worthwhile experience for every athlete.  These experiences go far beyond the winning and losing of races; swimming develops character traits used throughout one's life - including self-confidence, discipline and work ethic.

Vision Statement:

The vision statement of USA Swimming is ... "To inspire and enable our members to achieve excellence in the sport of swimming and in life".  Rockwood Swim Club supports this vision as well.
