PHOENIX SWIM CLUB

OUR PROGRAMS

Swimming Lessons – Our youngest swimmers are aged 3 years old to who start lessons in small groups taught primarily by our high school aged swimmers, who teach them basic skills to create confidence and get them water safe. These lessons are offered April through July.

Spring & Summer Team – The next step to lessons is our Spring and Summer Teams starting in April and finishing in July which are also taught by our high school swimmers but led by our year-round professional staff. These swimmers are introduced to the basic strokes, the fun of being part of a team and an introduction to competition. Many of the swimmers who participate in the Spring and Summer Team go on to sign up for year-round swimming.

USA Club Swimming – The bulk of our members are year-round swimmers who practice several times a week, compete against other teams from across the state and travel to competitions across the country. Our youngest club swimmers are 5 years old and practice twice a week and our high school aged swimmers as many as 9 times a week. Swimmers develop efficient time management skills to be able to balance a rigorous academic schedule along with achieving their athletic goals.

Adult/Masters Swimming – PSC has a very large adult membership with ages ranging from 18-89. Our oldest swimmers come several times a week to practice and also still compete occasionally. Swimming is a lifelong sport and is very beneficial to health and wellness. PSC provides an important service and atmosphere to all those who continue to compete in triathlons and the like and/or just remain active and healthy throughout their adult years.

Post Grad/Professional Swimming – Our professional staff of coaches have attracted some well-known talent to continue training for national and international competitions beyond college. These Olympians continue to compete at the highest level in our sport and have much to offer our swimmers. They also represent PSC in major competitions across the country.

Adult Learn to Swim – PSC is one of only a few places in Arizona that has certified instructors, trained to teach adults. There is a need in the community for adults who never learned to swim and/or have a fear of the water but want to learn to swim. We offer small group classes focusing on specific needs, whether it is learning the basics, overcoming anxiety about being in the water or becoming more efficient with their strokes. We offer these classes in the warm weather months of April through July.

Special Olympics Swimming – For over 20 years, PSC has supported the community by providing not only pool space, but also coaching for our Special Olympic athletes who practice with us twice a week from June through October. The cumulation of their hard work takes place at the championship meet in October and is attended by these swimmers and their coaches. The confidence and pride generated by this program surpasses almost anything that we do at PSC.

Swim Clinics – PSC does regular clinics usually led by our Olympians or the US National Team coaches. Clinics offer the community outside of regular practices, to work on something specific while learning from some of the best. These up close and personal encounters are invaluable to the development of young swimmers.
