When people ask what makes us different, the answer is our instructors. We boast a staff of highly skilled instructors that were specially chosen because of their love of working with people and the water. Each instructor goes through a vigorous training program that includes countless hours of in-house training. Our in-house training is where we take our staff to another level. The SASA training teaches instructors how to be the difference in a swimmers development. We focus on communication skills and overcoming mental objections that arise in the swimming environment. SASA instructors are athletes conditioned to provide an energy level for the last class of the day as if it were their first ensuring all students the level of instruction they deserve. |
