The mission of the Fork Union Aquatic Club is to provide an opportunity
for all swimmers in the central Virginia area to reach their highest potential,
and to develop nationally ranked swimmers and outstanding citizens.
FUAC offers swimmers an environment in which swimming excellence is a possible
achievement and in which each swimmer can reach his or her full potential.
Within this framework, FUAC realizes an obligation to cultivate the body,
mind and spirit of all of its swimmers. At FUAC, swimmers have the opportunity
to be the best that they can be. Members learn the value of team work, dedication,
commitment and self-discipline. They learn to take responsibility for their
actions and to develop a true appreciation for what they as individuals can accomplish.
