The Aquamaids has produced 24 Olympians, and has seven Olympians on our coach staff. Each year we continue to train synchronized swimmers to compete in the top national and international events. Aquamaid athletes have the opportunity to secure scholarships or admission to some of the best universities in the country, including Stanford University and Ohio State University. Our success is possible through our Bingo fundraising. If you get a chance, please visit our Bingo Hall. It is through our fundraising, that we make an expensive sport affordable.Santa Clara Aquamaids is proud to have contributed to the development of synchronized swimming world wide.
