Who We Are
The Aquatic Club of Elkhorn (ACE) is a
year-round club swim team located in Elkhorn, Nebraska.
We offer
training and competition for swimmers of various skill levels.
The minimum requirement is that the swimmer must be able to swim
the length of a 25 yd pool under his/her own steam. This
requirement is a safety precaution and the final decision is at
the discretion of the coaches. The team trains at
Elkhorn's Common Ground
(1701 Veterans
Drive). The pool is 25 yards, 8 lanes and has locker rooms
available for use by ACE members. The pool is equipped with a
Colorado Timing System with an 8-lane readout scoreboard and
relay judging platforms/reaction pads for each lane. For more
information about the facilities you may call Common Ground at
402-289-0451. ACE is a United States Swimming registered
program.
