The Way You Learn to Swim Makes a Difference

The correct movement in the water makes every stroke more efficient and every session less tiring. That’s what we focus on. Coaches developed the method because they believed that swimmers could learn more effectively and safely with the correct foundation in place. After decades of teaching, we’ve seen that hold true again and again.

Learn Through the Principles of Proper Movement™

This teaching method began in the early 1990s when our lead coaches developed a new way to help swimmers improve faster. People were learning how to swim, but not how to move well in the water. The method focused on one thing at a time, working on skills such as balance, kicking, arm movements, and timing. When swimmers practiced these parts individually, everything came together more quickly.

We’ve used the Principles of Proper Movement™ ever since. The goal is to help you swim with less effort and more control. That makes each session more productive and helps every swimmer feel confident and comfortable in the water.

Feel Safer

When your body moves correctly, you feel steady in the water. You don’t tense up. You stay in control.

Swim Better Without
Working Harder

Once the basics are solid, everything feels natural. You can push further without feeling like you’re fighting the water.

Adult Swimming Classes 

You’re never too old to learn how to swim. We’ve had people come to us at different stages in life, all with varying swimming goals. Most adults we teach wish they’d have done it sooner.

Stroke improvement training

Every swimmer has different goals. Some want their child to feel safer in the water. Some want to fix years of bad habits. Some want to get faster.
