Our instructors and coaches are the best! Our staff is trained in
stroke progressions and teaching techniques by Weiss & Weiss
Swimming Instruction System (WWSIS) and certified in
American Red Cross First Aid and CPR.
-
Our coaching team is exceptional.
We work
with humor, heart, and expert knowledge.
WAWA
Programs are different from other teams in several
significant areas.
-
We
retain staff because we know familiarity and
long-term relationships build trust and cohesion for our
clients and teams. We feel proud and happy to see
the same associates walk out on deck year after year.
-
We
value technique and a powerful training base over sloppy
repetition and mindless hammer sets. If you're not
doing it right, we don't want to watch you swim for
5000 yards!
-
We
hire a variety of personality types - you and your
children will find both patience and perfection, humor
and high standards, youth and maturity, as qualities
present in our staff.
-
We
want you to be exposed to the wonderful world of
swimming through the eyes and years of our remarkable
coaching and teaching team.
