Canyons Aquatic Club is a primarily youth-based sports swimming program that offers a safe, healthy, and positive family atmosphere that celebrates success through its team values. Since 1978, Canyons Aquatic Club has provided swim lessons and competitive swimming and has trained swimmers from the novice level to Olympian, with over 500 members at various competitive levels ranging from introductory to nationally ranked competitors. New swimmers ages 4–12 start in the Swim School, and experienced swimmers ages 5–18 compete as a team through USA Swimming.

The current head coach is Kyle Hastings, and prior notable head coaches include Kevin Nielsen, Coley Stickels, Jeff Conwell, Bruce Patmos, Jennifer Salles-Cunha, Steve Neale, Steve Schomber, Fernando, and Jerry and Joe Walsh. Notable alumni include Anthony Ervin, a gold medalist in the 50 freestyle at the 2000 and 2016 Olympics, and Abbey Weitzeil, a gold and silver medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics and American record holder in the 50-yard freestyle and part of the American record in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay. As of 2000, the club had produced a U.S. Olympic team alternate, four USA national titlists, two U.S. Olympic Festival selections, and numerous high school All-Americans; in 2010, five swimmers qualified for the Conoco Phillips National Championships, and in 2012, seven swimmers competed at the United States Swimming Olympic Trials.

Canyons Aquatic Club works with the City of Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County in using facilities for the club and supports community outreach programs to have a positive impact on the Santa Clarita Valley. The club does not own or operate any facility it trains at. For families, 12 and under athletes must be escorted into the pool and signed in, and all vehicles must display a valid parking pass at all times while on campus at College of the Canyons, with only one parking pass issued per family and specific drop-off and pick-up procedures that require parking in designated spots rather than waiting on curbs.
