Recommendations Mike Hoffer, owner of Carolina Closets Plus and information provider for this page, has been involved in competitive year around USA swimming for over 14 years.  "My recommendation for a competitive swimmer in Chapel Hill is North Carolina Aquatic Club.  NCAC offer the best facilities in the Chapel Hill/Durham area.  NCAC trains in the Koury Natatorium on the UNC campus.  We have groups starting as young as six years old going all the way to the elite high school group who are preparing for swimming in college."
