Why Us?

Staying Several Strokes Ahead of the Competition

We are a team of individuals passionate about changing lives and saving lives through a proven process our learn-to-swim facilities utilize. Through this time-tested curriculum and philosophy that we call The Science of SwimPlay®, we have discovered that children learn best through guided play and in a safe environment. This philosophy has helped us become the premier brand in this recession-resistant industry.
