About the Fins

The Fins Aquatics Club is Philadelphia's premier LGBQTIA+ Masters swim team.  Our members range from swimmers who have never competed to national record holders. We welcome swimmers of all ages (18+) and ability, inclusive of all genders, sexual orientations and identities. The club provides challenging, well-organized, coached workouts on most days of the week.  Some of our members focus on training for swimming meets, open water competitions, and triathlons, while others simply swim to keep fit.

When we aren't working out, we often hang out together for fun, whether for meals after practices, bike rides, or participating at Philadelphia's various LGBTQIA+ celebrations and other community events.

The Fins Aquatics Club is a United States Masters Swimming club and a proud member of International Gay & Lesbian Aquatics.

The Fins Aquatics Club is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the USA.
 

Mission Statement

The Philadelphia FINS Aquatics Club is Philadelphia’s premiere LGBTQIA+ masters swim team.  Our mission is to serve the social and physical wellbeing of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, gender non-conforming, and allied (“LGBQTIA+”) community in the greater Philadelphia area.  By providing a welcoming and affirming environment, the FINS seek to ensure that all members of the LGBTQIA+ communities have access to the health and safety benefits of swimming.
