Palm Desert Swim Club exists to give kids something bigger than laps and lane lines: a safe, inclusive, and genuinely exciting culture where they learn to Swim, Compete & Have Fun. Our focus stays simple and consistent—great coaching, strong character, and a team environment where every swimmer feels seen, supported, and challenged at the right level.
Our vision is to build the premier swim program in the Coachella Valley, welcoming children of all ages and abilities while developing athletes who can compete at every level. That means thoughtful progression, clear standards, and a program design that meets swimmers where they are—whether your child is brand new to the sport or hungry to race faster. We believe the “right fit” matters, so we encourage families to explore our philosophy and choose the program that aligns with your values. When that alignment is there, the experience becomes rewarding for the swimmer, the parents, and the entire team.
Families join PDSC because we take the full journey seriously: skill development, confidence, discipline, resilience, and friendships that last beyond the season. Our Athlete Code of Conduct reflects what we stand for—respect, sportsmanship, responsibility, and a team-first mindset. We expect swimmers to support teammates, treat coaches and facilities with respect, and bring a strong work ethic to practice and meets. In return, families get a positive, structured environment where kids grow—not just as athletes, but as people.
Getting started is straightforward. To schedule a swimmer evaluation, contact Coach Mavi at [email protected]. Bring a proper swimsuit, goggles, and a towel, and we’ll guide your swimmer toward the right program while answering any questions you have. Practices are held at the Palm Desert Aquatic Center (73-751 Magnesia Falls Dr, Palm Desert, CA 92260)—located by the Civic Center Park—an ideal home base for building strong swimmers and an even stronger community.
Why Swim at Palm Desert Swim Club
Starting swim training early gives kids a huge advantage because swimming is a true “skill sport” — the earlier they learn efficient technique, the more natural it becomes. Unlike many sports where effort alone can carry you for a while, swimming rewards precision: body position, timing, breathing control, kick rhythm, and feel for the water. When kids begin training young, they build these fundamentals before bad habits settle in, and they develop a strong aerobic base in a way that’s safe for growing bodies. That foundation pays off for years, whether they eventually race competitively, play water polo, cross-train for another sport, or simply want to be strong, capable swimmers.
In the Coachella Valley, swimming also fits the lifestyle perfectly — it’s a year-round sport in a place built for outdoor activity. With so many sunny days, kids can train consistently, build momentum, and stay active when other sports slow down due to heat or seasonal breaks. Swim training creates a healthy routine, helps kids manage energy and focus, and gives them a positive peer group that values hard work, encouragement, and personal progress. As Palm Desert Swim Club continues to grow, our goal is to be the valley’s best option for families who want a sport that’s challenging, fun, and genuinely healthy — a place where kids can set goals, celebrate improvement, and fall in love with the process of getting better.
