The Indian Creek Aquatic Club is a summer swim team, a member of the Capital Area Swim League
(CASL), and is open to all area swimmers. Our team philosophy is to promote individual improvement in both stroke technique and event time while having fun during the summer break. With an excellent and
stable coaching staff, we have been able to maintain our legacy of excellence and improvement from year to year. With five coaches on staff, our members have more opportunity to receive individual attention in
practice sessions.
Swimming with the Indian Creek Aquatic Club provides excellent physical conditioning combined with focused
stroke technique development. The coaching staff provides skill appropriate practices for all levels from beginner through advanced.
The team is led by Head Coach Stacy Ireland (Lowry). Our Head Coach since 2002, Stacy is a 2003 graduate
of Ohio State University in the Big Ten conference where she swam competitively for four years. She is also a two-time National High School All America swimmer and six time PIAA State Finalist. Since
January 2005, Stacy is also a first grade teacher at Middlesex Elementary in the Cumberland Valley School District.
Our Assistant Coach since 2004 is Jessie Lowry. She is a 2004 graduate from Cumberland Valley High School
and is currently is enrolled in the Nursing program at HACC. Jessie is an experienced swimmer, beginning competitive swimming when she was 7 years old. She swam for Indian Creek for 11 years. Jessie
was a lifeguard and taught swim lessons at Indian Creek during the summers of 2001-2004.
In addition to our Head Coach and Assistant Coach who coach all levels of swimmers on the Indian Creek team, we
have three Junior Coaches selected from our senior practice level team. These coaches are long time members of the Indian Creek team as well as representative of their High School and winter club
teams. These Junior Coaches help provide special attention to our newest swimmers to help ensure that these youngsters receive as much individual attention as possible.
Excellent role models for team members of all ages, our coaching staff provides training and stroke instruction
in a fun, controlled, and positive atmosphere.
The team's optional spring training clinic is held at indoor at the West Shore YMCA. Summer practices
and home swim meets are held in the outdoor pool at the Indian Creek Recreation Club (the "REC Club"). Swim team members are not required to join the REC Club, but club membership is available to anyone.
The secluded setting is a great alternative to the crowds at other area pools and membership is far less costly than other private clubs in the area. Facilities include 25 meter pool with diving well, tennis
and basket ball courts.
