Featured Aquatics Programs:
V.I.P. (Very Important Process)
Designed for our youngest swimmers, this introductory level welcomes children into the aquatic world, with their parents or guardians by their side. In a nurturing and safe environment, participants learn basic water comfort skills, kick-starting their aquatic adventure with a shared experience of discovery and bonding. This level lays the groundwork for a lifelong love and respect for water.
Swim to Learn™ (S2L) Levels 1 - 7
This program pathway is your gateway to engaging with water in a meaningful, intentional, and transformative way. Beyond learning to swim, our participants (from 6 weeks to 96+) begin a journey that intertwines aquatic skills with core values, promoting physical proficiency, self-awareness and personal growth. Each level builds on the prior sessions foundation, driving a complete transformation in an individual and communities relationship to water.
Swim to Earn ™
V3 Sports’ groundbreaking Swim to Earn™ (S2E) program is designed to blend personal development with economic advancement. From lifeguarding to underwater photography, our program is a launchpad for careers in aquatics.
Women's Swim Wednesday's
Taking place every Wednesday from 5:00-7:30 PM, we close all viewing platforms and the entire pool deck to welcome women to free swim while often practicing modesty. With a regular showing of 60-80 women and their children, this weekly program continues to gain momentum.
