About Us
Established in 1964, Tri-Town Aquatic Club (TTAC) provides lessons for beginners to varsity swimmers. We swim at the Iroquois Middle School pool located on Girdle Road in Elma, NY.
Mission Statement
Tri-Town Aquatic Club (TTAC) seeks to provide an opportunity for all swimmers, regardless of age or ability, to reach their highest personal potential as both a person and an athlete. We understand that winning is much more than one’s place in the finish of a race, and we are committed to helping children grow in character, physical development, and skill. TTAC is committed to leave NO swimmers behind.

COACHES
Mike O'Connor

Mike has been TTAC's head coach since March of 2013. He grew up in Orchard Park and is a member of the Orchard Park High School class of 1992. He swam for six years on the OP swim team and was an ECIC and NY Section VI finalist each of those years. He was also a member of Orchard Park High School's first NYS qualifying relay team. In addition to swimming with Orchard Park, he also swam club with SWSC/TWST. He has 20 plus years experience as a swim coach and along with being the head coach at TTAC is also the head coach of the Iroquois' Girls' and Boys' Varsity Swim Teams. Mike believes his greatest accomplishment as a coach is watching kids work hard, develop a love of swimming and surprise themselves with how good they can become through determination. Mike has an uncanny ability to understand and relate to each kid based on his/her personality despite any differences. While swimming can be viewed as an individual sport, Mike does his best to get kids to view it as a team sport and he gets tremendous results in doing so.
