Baldwin Mobile Aquatic Club

Baldwin County's Premiere Swim School for 15 Years

Swimming Instruction offered for all levels & all ages from the Beginner to the Nationally Ranked

The Baldwin Mobile Aquatic Club was established in 1993 by Coach Terry Martin.  The new team swam outdoors at the Fly Creek pool in Fairhope, Alabama. 

In 1997 Coach Martin built two indoor pools with financial help from Mr. Robert Martin (Terry's father), Mr. Dan Wilkins (Catherine Wilkins' father and Dr. Lynn Groome (Kirsten Groome's father).  At that time there were no indoor pools on the Eastern Shore. 

Coach Martin, who has since retired, brought the sport of swimming to the Eastern Shore.  He put the BMAC 'Geckos' on the 'swimming map' by producing many national champions and national record holders. 

*Three and hopefully four of Coach Martin's past swimmers will be competing at the 2008 Olympic Trials which is quite an accomplishment for this small area*

Under the guidance of Coach Martin, the club branched out and began to offer Swimming lessons for all ages, Tri-athlete training, Master's swimming, Lap swimming, High School swimming and Summer League swimming.  This has led the Baldwin Mobile Aquatic Club to be the premiere swim school in the region.

Coach Martin still teaches private stroke lessons and coaches the Bluewave Summer League team but he has now handed the reigns of the USA Swim team over to several very capable people.  The USA swim team is now run by the Eastern Shore Parents Association Foundation and the new 'Geckos' Head Coach is Coach Rich Suhs.
