  • 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.

    programs in Austin for over 25 years.

    abilities on a year-round basis.

    exercise and the need for continuing education
    within the sport.

    the sport of swimming.
