Our Coaches: 
All of our coaches, as members of the American Swim Coaches Association, have access to the most comprehensive training and certification programs for youth coaches of any sport in the United States. They provide assurances that the time children spend in swim practice will be quality time.

We are constantly growing and working with young swimmers and their families to maintain a well rounded competitive swim team. We look forward to having you on our team!
