WELCOME


Cosumnes River Aquatics (CRA) has been providing a positive experience for swimmers of all ages for over 20 years in the Sacramento and Elk Grove areas.  We have a team of trained coaches working with Head Coach, Matt Casto, to help each swimmer reach his or her full potential.  We swim at the Cosumnes River College pool, an 8-lane, 25-meter by 25-yard facility.  We are a year-round, competitive league in the Sierra Nevada Local Swimming Committee (LSC) of USA Swimming.  This means that each swimmer and family has access to a wide range of resources from both a local team and a national swimming organization. 

PHILOSOPHY


At CRA we believe that the sport of swimming should be both physically challenging and fun. 

There are two elements involved in the physical mastery of swimming: technique and conditioning. In our program we seek to provide both of these elements in the proper balance for each individual.   While some swimmers will improve more with technical instruction, others will excel through hard work.  Our coaches tailor their instruction based on individual levels of technical mastery and physical conditioning and seek to improve both.

We also know that honing skills and improving conditioning are very hard work.  So at CRA we strive to have fun, both in the carefree sense and in regards to achieving goals.  This is accomplished through annual activities like a camp-out meet and through regular practice work like creative drills and training games. 

We hope this approach will provide each individual with a fun and rewarding experience!  Please use the links at left for more information and to get started.
