Charlotte #1 Place to Live

Charlotte Dethrones Asheville

I moved here 13 years ago with no job and a couch to sleep on in my aunt & uncle’s house.  Now I am raising a family and running a successful business in what is in my opinion the best city in America!

For now, the Center of Excellence will be housed at the Huntersville location, however it will impact on the entire MAC family and the Charlotte area as a whole.  Elite level swimmers will be relocating to Charlotte and become involved in the community at all levels.  These athletes will be training for the Summer Olympics in 2008 and beyond.

MAC is a not for profit organization with some very strong swimming programs including a very competitive year-round team, a Junior Swim League, SwimAmerica lessons, Masters Swimming, and more.  Becoming a Center of Excellence will only enhance the programs they already have in place.

US Olympic swimmers will most likely be in town to compete during MAC’s largest swim meet of the year, the UltraSwim, held this year June 7-10.  This Grand Prix level event is sure to draw large crowds as top swimmers go head to head in the downtown Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center pool.
