Welcome to CAT 5 Aquatics

cat5aqpcb@gmail.com (Scott Fortier) — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 22:57:23 GMT

Welcome to the new era of swimming in Bay & Walton County

We are excited to welcome everyone to our New Team name and website! We here at PCST soon to be Cat 5 Aquatics are so excited that everyone will get the opportunity to use this new website.

The goal with this switch is to make signing up your swimmers for our programs and meets to be a easier and cause less issues.

As we are currently in the middle of our season the website may take some time to get use to but by the end of July we will only be using this for all things related to the program.

Welcome to the next chapter in Bay County swimming!

Coach Scott Fortier
