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

Welcome to Life Time Allen's swim team! I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Coach Jim and I'm starting my second year here, for this 2024-2025 season. My wife Anh and I moved here a year ago from Irvine, CA and bought a home in Melissa, TX. All of our Allen swimmers and families have really come together to form a great team, being one of eleven Life Time's in the DFW area that are combined and compete as one USA Swimming Club,  "Life Time Swim Dallas." If you're interested in our program, we have beginners at 4:30-5:30, intermediates at 5:30-6:45 and our most competitive group at 6:30-8:15 pm. Please text me at 949-910-0736 or email: [email protected] to join us for a full practice!
 
Since 2008,  I've been swimming and coaching at  Irvine Nova Masters,   Equinox Orange County and USA Swimming teams. I founded the USA team,  Newport Beach Swimming  in 2012.  
One of my favorite insights to coaching is that, "No one cares what or how much you know,... until they know how much you care." I believe everything develops around building strong relationships and having a real connection with our swimmers and families. My life-long passion for swimming started at ages of 6 to 18, with the  Sideburn Run Sharks in The  Northern Virginia Swim League summer program. I competed for ten years with the  Nation's Capital Swim Club, under Coach  Pete Morgan.
