AGUA EARNS HIGHEST VCC FINISH IN PROGRAM HISTORY!

The USA Swimming Virtual Club Championship program recognizes and highlights clubs that develop athletes and achieve success at multiple levels, emphasizing the team element of club swimming. Teams are evaluated by the USA Swimming power point system.

The Virtual Club Championship runs throughout each swim season. Teams may score two swimmers per event and age group, while individual swimmers are limited to contributing four swims. Swimmers must be 11 years old or older to score points.

Congratulations to all AGUA athletes on scoring our highest VCC score in program history with 249,914 points for the 2024 short course season. We also earned our first-ever top-25 finish as a team, with a national ranking of 15th out of over 4,000 USA Swimming Teams. We will also recognize our swimmers who scored in the VCC this season over the next four weeks, starting with our youngest athletes.
