Swim for Fitness

TSS coaches take a scientific approach to swimming. We believe in providing knowledge, motivation, confidence and support for any athlete who want to improve his or her swimming abilities. The secret of swimming lies in proper technique and efficiency to move through the water with speed and efficiency. We keep our class sizes low so our coaches can maximize the time spent on one-to-one instruction.

We offer three instruction times this winter:

• 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM (TR)
• 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (MW)
• 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (TR)
