Kentwood Aquatics Club

Welcome to the

Kentwood Aquatics Club!

The Kentwood Aquatics Club (KAC) is an age group swim team for both boys and girls from ages 6 to 14 (winter season), or 6 to 18 (summer season). KAC is a non-profit, Kentwood community based program. The program is organized under the sponsorship of Kentwood Public Schools. The team participates in competitive swim meets with other teams in the West Michigan Swim League. These meets are not MHSAA sanctioned or affiliated activities, but rather are a district related activity. Members of KAC are trained to compete against other children of the same sex and age. The swimmers are assigned to groups (8 & under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15 & older) based on based on swimmer's age on the date of the WMSL A Meet for that season. The team uses the Kentwood Aquatic Center (at the East Kentwood High School campus) on a seasonal basis for practice sessions and swim meets.
