The Aquatomics, one of the oldest USA Swimming Teams in New Mexico, promotes both Age-Group (USA Swimming) and Masters (USMS) swimming. Formed in 1963, LAA is a cooperative non-profit organization run by a volunteer parent board employing a professional full-time coach. We welcome swimmers of all ages and abilities to join our team. The current membership is strong and our coaching is fantastic!

size pool in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The elevation at the pool is 7,227 feet, one
of the highest altitude indoor Olympic pools in the world. Each year teams from all over
the world come and train at our facility. Come and see for yourself what a difference
high altitude training can make!
