The Harnett County Aquatic Club endeavors to provide an environment in which every swimmer competes at his or her own level. The Hurricanes have no bench warmers! The following practice groups are available. All practices are held at Campbell University's Nathan Johnson Natatorium in Buies Creek NC.

Bronze Group: Beginning Age Group Swimmers (10 and Under)

This group is for age group swimmers (10 and younger) who are being introduced to swimming and want to learn the basic competitive strokes and techniques. Swimmers in this group typically practice two-to-four times per week. Many swimmers from this group attend local meets.
