Aquacats is preparing to launch our spring/summer swim program, and we are excited for the season ahead.

Thanks to the support of Wellness Matagorda County and the Bay City YMCA Programs , we can utilize the Valiant Pool until the new aquatic center is complete. These upcoming facilities will enhance our ability to host local meets and clinics and help us continue growing our program.

Last summer, 10 of our swimmers qualified for the 2025 State Swim Meet in Bryan–College Station, and we aim to double that number this year.

We are grateful for the ongoing support from community partners like you. Your contributions play a vital role in providing essential equipment, covering coaching expenses, and supporting our Coastal Cities Aquatic Association insurance fees.

If you would like to support our team, donations may be made payable to Bay City Aquacats. We can arrange local pickup or you may mail contributions to:
1 Stoney Brook Lane, Bay City, TX 77414

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to strengthen opportunities for Aquacat swimmers across Matagorda County.
