South Tampa Aquatic Team (STAT), a nonprofit 501(C)(3), is a year-round swim program designed to reach all levels of swimmers.  STAT provides an outstanding swimming program which fosters the attributes of hard work, dedication, and determination in each of its swimmers.  The program also encourages its swimmers to have a healthy attitude about competition and  to maintain a proper balance of fun and commitment.

While the coaches recognize that there are many different capabilities, their aim is to produce swimmers who excel and who understand the efforts required to achieve that excellence. Therefore, the staff will make every effort to provide the atmosphere necessary, in both its coaching and its teaching, to assist each swimmer in achieving his/her goals.
