Aquatics

Regardless of your ability level, our aquatics facilities are fun for the whole family.

Pelican Athletic Club has an extensive aquatics program with two large junior Olympic-sized pools, a small wading pool, and a splash pad. The pools surround a beautiful pool deck with easy access to locker rooms, PAC Cafe’, fitness floor, and tennis areas. PAC’s pools are aerated in the summer and heated in the winter, allowing the use of the pools year-round. You can enjoy the cleanest, clearest, best-kept pools on the Northshore at PAC.

PAC offers recreational and lap swimming and various free aquatic exercise classes. Are you looking for more? We have many water-based programs to fit all your aquatics needs, from lessons to technique, endurance, and competition.
