North Baltimore Aquatic Club
The North Baltimore Aquatic Club is an elite swim club based in and around Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1968, it continues to offer training for young swimmers. It is best known for developing a dozen Olympic swimmers, five of whom earned gold medals.
The club started training in the Loyola High School pool, but as it has grown, its location has changed. It currently operates out of two locations, with two pools at the main Meadowbrook facility located in the Northwest Baltimore neighborhood of Mount Washington and another pool located at Goucher College in Towson.
NBAC has produced eight Olympic swimmers overall.
The organization's best known swimmer is Michael Phelps, who initially competed in the 2000 Sydney Games, then won six gold and two bronze medals at the 2004 Athens Games. In the 2008 Beijing Games Phelps broke seven world records and won the gold medal in all eight events that he competed in. At the 2012 London Games, he earned four gold and two silver medals. Phelps holds the records for most career Olympic gold medals in any sport and the most gold medals in a single Olympic Games, and the record for most Olympic medals overall. At the 2016 Rio Games, Phelps' fifth, he won his 21st Olympic gold medal in the Men's 4x200 freestyle relay.
