Welcome to Washington, D.C.!

On behalf of the District of Columbia Aquatics Club and the Washington Wetskins, we want to extend to you our warmest welcome.

Everyone knows that Washington is a city of beautiful monuments and astonishing museums. But it is also home to vibrant residential neighborhoods, cool restaurants and clubs, gorgeous parks, and quite a few lesser known, sometimes off-beat attractions. If you haven't been to D.C. since the last time we hosted IGLA in the 1990's, you will be amazed at the difference a decade makes! Already one of America’s top tourist destinations, Washington is becoming a more interesting and more fun place to be with each new day.

To help plan your visit, we have a list of resources and links that will make navigating Washington easier. We tried to break it down into logical groupings that can help you get at the information you need. If you have any questions, please send us an email at igla2008@gmail.com and we will be happy to help you.
