SwimAmerica Program

SwimAmerica is a US national learn-to-swim program operated by the American Swimming Coaches Association through over 500 Program Directors at over 900 sites across the USA. It is the premier learn-to-swim program in the world today, brought to you by the same team who have produced the most successful swimmers on the planet – the USA Olympic Swimming Team.

Just like how NASCAR and INDY car races inspired the development of great cars, SwimAmerica adopts the techniques of world-record-setting swimmers and teaches them to beginners.
