AQUATIC CAPITAL
OF AMERICA

Aquatic Capital of America Foundation (ACOA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2008.

 

The primary mission of ACOA is to support Youth Aquatics in Long Beach. There are currently two primary initiatives administered by ACOA: Waterproof Our Youth and Grants for Gear. These two initiatives provide funding for local Long Beach learn-to-swim programs, youth swim programs and the gear needed by youth to participate. ACOA holds two annual fund raising events whose proceeds support these programs: The Annual Awards Banquet The Annual Hall of Fame Banquet.

 

The Aquatic Capital Foundation’s membership includes athletes from Sailing, Rowing, Outrigger Canoes, Dragon Boats, Kayaking, Paddle boarding, Swimming, Water Polo, Surfing, Windsurfing and Diving.

 

Our Organization is highly dependent on the health of our Aquatic Environment. We are Stewards of our Local Rivers, Creeks, Wetlands, Bays and Ocean. All are crucial to our aquatic environment. Los Cerritos Wetlands Stewards provides our Leadership Team with direction on how best to safeguard our local waterways. Algalita Marine Research and Education and the Moore Institute advise us on water quality and plastic pollution issues.

 

We are a fully volunteer organization. We are grateful to all our Executive and Advisory Board Members for their support.
