For those considering a swimming program for their children, I would highly recommend Pikes Peak Athletics. Our son has been swimming in the summer league for two years. Before Coach Anna and Coach George, our program at Flying Horse had been inconsistent. But now, my son is focused, diligent, challenged. Most importantly, he is having fun. Without a doubt, his third season is going to be the best yet. Communication is superb. Coach Anna is fantastic at keeping us informed. This is critical to busy schedules and team continuity. The coaches want success for our swimmer and encourage him to be the best he can be, in and out of the pool. He loves his coaches and swims hard without feeling overwhelmed. Coach Anna and staff have done wonders with this program. We are blessed to have Pikes Peak Athletics mentor for our son. I cannot wait to watch Flying Horse Swim Team ahead in the lanes this summer.
My children have been swimming with Pikes Peak Athletics (PPA) for the past 8 months and I have been very impressed with the organization for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, the coaching is top notch -- teaching good technique while differentiating needs of individual swimmers. I also appreciate the broader focus taken at PPA on developing healthy athletes -- kids are coached not only on strokes, but nutrition, strength and overall fitness. These are important life skills my kids will benefit from throughout their lives.
In talking with George and Anna, I realize that the training, the programs and the overall organization has been well thought out. Strategies are based on research and best practices – some quite innovative for swim. As a parent, this means a lot to me as I am continually trying to navigate through myriad choices for my kids extracurricular activities. I feel very fortunate to have my children participating on the PPA team.
When our family heard that the club at Flying Horse had obtained Pikes Peak Athletics to coach a swim team, we were thrilled. PPA has an amazing foundation of coaches whom are incredibly modest about their personal successes. They teach swimming in such a way that our child is excited about going to practice. Through watching videos of swimmers, training at the Olympic Training Center and practicing indoors/outdoors, the team has become increasingly more cohesive. PPA does not over emphasize competition, but instead focuses on technique and having fun. Our 8 year old daughter knocked 4 seconds off of her fastest freestyle time within two months of practicing with coach Anna. We are enjoying the flexibility of the swim schedule and are grateful to have PPA working with our daughter.
Pikes Peak Athletics @ The Club at Flying Horse is a top-notch youth aquatics program. With flexible options for busy students and multi-sport athletes, PPA offers excellent instruction for swimmers of all levels. Swimmers benefit from mentoring and coaching from a highly- skilled, experienced and passionate coaches. In addition to providing instruction to enhance the swimmer’ s skills and technique, the coaches focus on the whole athlete - nutrition, mind and body. We are happy to be part of the PPA @ the Club at Flying Horse family!
Anna of Pikes Peak Aquatics is a phenominal coach. I certainly trust my kids with her and the Flying Horse coaching staff. My son Jordan has progressed greatly under all the coaches in the last year. I would absolutely recommend Pike Peak Athletics and Flying Horse Aquatics Club to all my friends.
