MASC is a non-profit, competitive swim club meeting at the James Buchanan High School in Mercersburg, PA. We provide the opportunity for swimmers ages 5-18 to compete and participate in an environment that is both supportive and fun. MASC gives young swimmers the chance to develop the necessary fundamentals for competitive swimming, while perfecting the skills of older, more experienced swimmers.
We are affiliated with the Central Penn Aquatic League (CPAL) in the winter season and with the Mid-Atlantic Summer Swim League (MASSL) in the summer season. These leagues offer dual meets and championships for members to build competitive experience.

Swim meets are not possible without volunteers. This is a great opportunity to support both our swimmers and coaches. If you are unsure of a position, please ask! Most posititions can be trained the day of the event.
We are in desperate need of stroke and turn officials and a computer operator for meets. These positions require training from our league, which can be scheduled at your convenience. If you would be interested in one of these positions, please let a board member know.
