Lower Merion Aquatic Club
L M A C
Lower Merion Aquatic Club (“LMAC”) was founded in 1967 as a community swimming program and has grown to a competitive club which participates in the Suburban Aquatic League (“SAL”), an independent age-group swimming and diving league in the Pennsylvania suburbs of Philadelphia. LMAC is in the West Division of SAL’s National Conference and participates in league-sponsored dual and championship meets that begin in early November and end with championship meets in early February. SAL and LMAC are run by parent volunteers according to the SAL Constitution. The mission of SAL and LMAC is to develop skills in the sports of competitive swimming and diving; teach good sportsmanship; and provide a means of healthy self-expression for those participating.
Until 2009, LMAC was sponsored by the Lower Merion School District (“LMSD”). While the new Lower Merion High School is under construction, LMSD has postponed sponsoship of the program.
The LMAC Parent’s Association was determined to continue the program and have taken over responsibility for running the club.
