Board of Directors

SWAT is a nonprofit, full-service swim club serving swimmers of all ages and abilities, from learn-to-swim through Masters swimming.


As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, SWAT is governed by a volunteer, parent-led Board of Directors consisting of nine elected directors who serve staggered three-year terms. The Board is responsible for the organization's governance, financial oversight, and long-term strategic direction.
