Springfield AquaticsSpringfield Aquatics (SPA) is a year-round USA swim team dedicated to providing a program of swim instruction and competition for young people. The coaching staff strives to teach young athletes not only the fundamentals of the sport but also the value of good sportsmanship, discipline, and dedication. Developing young people to the best of their abilities is the program's number one goal.
SPA is a member of USA Swimming, the national governing body of the sport in the United States. SPA welcomes and encourages athletes with all levels of experience and ability. The program is not designed to teach young people how to swim. Instead, the coaching staff teaches the fundamentals of competitive swimming, including stroke technique, physical conditioning and mental preparation.
Drury University's ten-lane Breech Pool facility is used year-round and, in the summer, additional pool time is used at Springfield's Meador Park. The Drury facility is home to the Drury University Panthers swimming teams which are national NCAA-II Champions.
The swim levels are Bronze (entry-level), Silver (mid-entry-level), and Gold (upper-entry-level), as well as Junior and Senior groups, with varying numbers of weekly practice sessions. An active Volunteer Parent Board oversees club operations and coordinates volunteer activities.
