The Walnut Creek Aquanuts is a world-renowned synchronized swimming club based in Walnut Creek, CA.  Our mission is to develop athletes from novice to elite, building both bodies and minds and instilling skills that will serve our swimmers throughout their lifetime.

The club was founded by Sue Ahlf and her daughter, Gail Emery, in 1968.  Their efforts helped introduce the sport to the Olympics in 1984.  Today, WCA remians a consitent powerhouse on the regional, national and global stage. 

On Saturday, May 27, 2023, the Walnut Creek Aquanuts Artistic Swimming Team will celebrate 55 years of achievements at our annual Celebration of Champions (COC).  WCA has won over 200 national and world titles, and has produced 18 Olympians (8 of them are gold medalists).  In order to ensure the program can attract and retain athletes of all levels and abilities, as well as train them to compete at the national and international level, we require access to pool time and coaching.  

Each year, our fundraiser attracts over 500 attendees, including City VIPs and local community.  The day includes an exhibition highlighting the competition routines of our athletes (ranging from ages 6 - 18).  In between enjoying the show, participants will get to bid on fabulous prizes during our live and silent auctions.  The proceeds from this event go directly towards our operating budget to pay for pool dues, coaching time, and travel to meets.  We hope that you will be a part of our success.
