About: 

The Allen club has a large swim school with in-water instructors teaching all four strokes to swimmers of all ages. When these swimmers have learned all the strokes, they move up to our Development swim team. Here they practice endurance and work on fine-tuning their strokes with our Coach being in the water with them, twice per week for 45 minutes. 

After one to four months in our Dev. group, swimmers progress to our Official USA Swimming Team, in our Bronze 2 group for up to three days per week for an hour. Then they advance to swim up to four days per week in our Bronze 1 group or our Silver 2, for an hour and fifteen minutes, choosing four out of five practice opportunities.

Our more advanced swimmers, whom regularly compete in USA Swimming meets, are in our Silver 1 group, choosing up to five out of our six practices. Our most dedicated and committed meet competitors swim in our Gold group up to six days per week and the first thirty minutes are spent doing dryland exercises using mats and stretchcords. Silver 1 and Gold are the only groups on Fridays and Saturday mornings are for our Silver 1, 2 and Gold groups. USA Meets are occasionally held on Friday evenings, and most often on Saturdays and Sundays.

Allen Head Swimming Coach  | Jim Dietrich - Beginner Through Advanced Levels

[email protected]

Coach Jim has extensive experience as a USA Swimming Head Coach for a club he founded in Newport Beach, CA in 2012. Two of his swimmers went from learning to swim, to winning their 10 & Under events in the Southern CA Championship meets, reaching AAAA times.

Jim has developed a life-long passion for swimming, starting at the age of 6 to 18, in The Northern Virginia Swim League summer program, ten years swimming for Nation's Capital, and the past 15 years swimming and coaching in the U.S. Masters with Irvine Novaquatics and Equinox Orange County Sports Club.
 
Jim and his wife recently moved to Melissa, TX, from Irvine, CA, where they have been running their gourmet Asian-Fusion food truck, Cruisin Fusion, the past five years. Sticking with his true passion, coaching swimming, Jim is very excited joining Life Time and is looking forward to meeting and getting to know all of our members and swimmers. One of his favorite insights to coaching is that, "No one cares what or how much you know,... until they know how much you care." He knows that everything is about building strong relationships and having a real connection with his swimming families.
 

TRY-OUTS are held on an appointment basis M-F at 4 pm, emailing Coach Jim, and on one Saturday per month 11 am to 1 pm.
