Our History
  • 1960: Nort Thornton, who later became the head coach at UC Berkeley, started the Foothill Aquatic Club. It later produced swimmers who won a string of major championships and, by the 1970s, the club boasted four Olympians.
  • 1974: The merchants of Los Altos co-sponsored the growing club, which was renamed Los Altos Aquatic Club. The club trained at Covington Pool, and by 1979 LAAC swimmers ranked in the nation's top 20.
  • 1984: Under the leadership of Head Coach Kevin Perry, the team moved to the pool at Foothill College.
  • 1990: LAAC expanded to serve the community of Mountain View through its Eagle Park pool and became known as Los Altos Mountain View Aquatic Club (LAMVAC).
