Club
Profile
Pine-Richland Aquatics (PRA) strives to be an area leader in
amateur swimming. Founded in 1994 with only 2 coaches and 32
swimmers, PRA has grown to include more than 145 swimmers
and 5 coaches.
We have come a long way from the start. Initially our club had
only 2 "A" swimmers. Since then we have produced 6 nationally
ranked swimmers with 6 others achieving national top
reportable times. PRA has set 12 AMS records, 7 eastern zone all star
meet champions, 4 swimmers and one relay make Junior Nationals
, and 1 swimmer has made the US Open and Short Course National
Championships. Numerous swimmers have participated in the Eastern
Zone All-Star meets. We continually increase the number of swimmers
we send to the Speedo Sectional Championships. Three (8) swimmers
have qualified for the Open Water Nationals. We have sent swimmers
to the AMS elite camp, eastern zone select camps, USA Swimming
Distance Camp, and USA Swimming Open Water National camp.
PRA prides itself on the quality of swimmers at all levels. We
take great delight in the fact that we offer one of the largest 8
and under programs in the area. We continually rank in the 500 (463
2009 SCY) out of 7000 clubs in the nation.
In 15 years, our team moved from being a "B" and slower team to a
"BB" team. We will continue to work to offer the best opportunities
to our athletes and families. We look forward to the future and
appreciate what all the families of the past and present have done
to make our club a success.
