Who we are
From first float to first race, one length at a time.
Coach Nikhil swam backstroke for Maharashtra for six years. He opened the academy in 2014 with one lane and twelve children. Today nine coaches teach about 600 swimmers a month in our own six-lane pool.
Lessons for children from age 3, adult beginners and ladies-only batches, in a 25 m heated pool with a coach for every six swimmers. A free 20-minute swim with a coach places your child in the right group, so no one waits in the shallow end.

What we stand for
Three things we will not change
Safety before speed
A lifeguard watches every session from the deck, separate from the coaches teaching in the water.
Small groups
Never more than six swimmers to a coach, and five in adult beginner batches.
No one is pushed in
Nervous swimmers move to deep water only when they are ready, however long that takes.
Summer batches fill in two weeks. Book an assessment early.
A free 20-minute swim with a coach places your child in the right group, so no one waits in the shallow end.

What customers say
Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.
My son was scared of putting his face in the water. By the fourteenth class he swam a full length.
I learnt to swim at 41 in the adult batch. The coach never once made me feel silly.
The ladies-only batch is exactly what I wanted. Women coaches, a closed pool and a friendly group.
