ABOUT US

Welcome to Wahoos Swim Club, North Florida’s leading swim team and swim lesson provider. 

Wahoos is dedicated to providing a safe and welcoming environment for swimmers of all ages and abilities. Spearheaded by Carlos and Stacy Mejia, we partner with committed families who desire to incorporate the discipline, courage, and heart required to become a Wahoo into their lifestyles. As coaches, parents, and members of the swim community, we understand that as swimmers surpass their limits, they not only discover the joy and passion of swimming, but also cultivate confidence and determination. 

Our program director, Carlos Mejia, hailing from Ecuador, was practically born in the water. After swimming competitively in his youth, he continued his journey in the water when he moved to the United States and began providing swimming lessons. Carlos quickly realized his passion for coaching and natural talent for helping students struggling with anxiety overcome their fear of the water. Today, he dedicates himself to innovating new strategies that enhance swimmer performance while assisting them in overcoming physical and mental limitations.

Stacy Mejia, a former university advisor, has consistently demonstrated a keen insight into operational efficiency and implementation strategies. As the CEO of Wahoos of Jacksonville, she ensures the company's seamless functioning and sets a high standard of excellence. With a relentless commitment to expanding Wahoos’ vision, Stacy continues to drive the company toward new horizons.

Whether someone is jumping into the pool for the first time or the 100th time, as a swim club with heart, we are doing so much more than teaching skills in the water. We provide a boutique experience. Every member is a part of the Wahoos family, and we encourage and empower them to lead a life beyond limits at every turn. We believe that the way in which someone learns to approach the water is the way in which they will approach life. It is our hope that they walk away owning their innate power, love, and discipline. We give every swimmer the tools to tackle whatever life throws their way, ensuring that they can face any adventure with kindness, hard work, and passion.
