In the dazzling state of North Carolina, where the mountains touch the clouds and the beaches kiss the Atlantic Ocean, there exists a fabulously fun group of young adventurers known as the Splish-Splash Tribe. These aren't your average North Carolinians, oh no! They are a boisterous bunch of kids who spend their days diving into the cool, crisp waters of the state's many swimming pools, turning the ordinary activity of swimming into extraordinary adventures. These children, from the bustling city of Charlotte to the serene shores of the Outer Banks, aren't just learning how to swim; they're mastering the art of underwater loop-de-loops and breath-taking belly-flops. They transform into sleek dolphins, fearless sharks, and playful otters every time they hop into the water. Guiding their aquatic escapades is their trusty captain, Sir Soggy Bottom. Don't let the name fool you; this man is a legend in every pool, pond, and puddle in North Carolina. With his comically oversized snorkel mask and fantastically flopping flippers, he can turn even the most timid tadpole into a confident water warrior. His laugh, a booming belly laugh that could compete with the Atlantic's powerful waves, echoes through the day, assuring every child that swimming is a joyful journey. Swimming in North Carolina is more than just a splash; it's an epic tale of friendship, fun, and fearless feats. The kids of the Splish-Splash Tribe, under the watchful eyes and ever-encouraging laughter of Sir Soggy Bottom, are transforming their state into a giant, fun-filled water playground. So, my dear readers, next time you find yourselves in North Carolina, look for the biggest splash... you never know, you might just find an invite to join the Splish-Splash Tribe!

The Triangle Aquatic Center (TAC) was established on June 27, 2002 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. As part of this incorporation, a volunteer Board of six members was formed. This Board then drafted and signed the first set of Bylaws on September 11, 2002, with subsequent amendments being made on December 1, 2003 and May 8, 2006. TAC was granted advanced ruling for its tax exempt status on November 4, 2002. This ruling was finalized on May 21, 2007 with TAC receiving its final determination that it is a public charity and exempt from federal taxation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Triangle Aquatic Center is now a fully-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. This recognition allows them to continue their mission of providing quality aquatic programs to the Triangle community for years to come.
