About Us

LOS ALTOS MOUNTAIN VIEW SWIM CLUB (LAMVAC)

LAMVAC is a year-round, Swim Club based in the cities of Mountain View & Los Altos in Northern California, USA, and serving a wider Bay Area. We are known for our individualized approach to every swimmer, easy accessibility of coaches and board members, as well as camaraderie among swimmers and parents. We are a parent run club, separate from the City of Mountain View's recreational swim classes. We have two swim breaks during the year: 2 week in late December and 3 weeks in August.

We understand that swimmers swim for different reasons: some may wish to swim fast, others enjoy conditioning, while some may simply wish to join a friend.

Our core objective is to foster in every swimmer a life-long love of swimming. We do this best by acknowledging these differing individual objectives.

What is a Swim Team? If this is your first experience with a swim team you may think that this is all about competition. Not so. Although swim meets are available (and are great fun for the well-prepared swimmer) that is not our priority. Think of us as a place that offers year-round swim classes with the added bonus of conditioning. A team offers your child a great opportunity to develop his/her full potential as a swimmer.

Upon joining LAMVAC one automatically becomes a member of USA Swimming, the National Governing Body for the sport of swimming in the United States.  USA Swimming is divided into Local Swim Committees (LSCs) and LAMVAC is part of the Pacific Swimming LSC.
