Vanguard Aquatics Swim Academy

With our focused progression through our swim levels, our goal is to teach swimmers of all ages what it means to be safer in and around the water. All swimmers will learn to swim through our stroke curriculum which promotes teaching swimmers all four competitive strokes so, at a minimum, they are ready for a summer in the pool, while also being ready for a year-round club swimming and water polo. We will also get kids ready to enjoy Jr. Guards with their friends over the Summer Months!
