What is EVO Swim School?

EVO Swim School is an evolutionary learn-to-swim facility with complete resources to offer the very best in aquatic instruction for infants, children, pre-competitive swimmers, and adults. Our approach to aquatic instruction inspired our company name and motto: “Where Learning to Swim Has Evolved”.

EVO Swim School is owned and operated by David Tait. David is an accomplished athlete in the sport of swimming. He was a three time state champion and state record holder, a Junior National Champion, Senior National qualifier, and competitor at the 2000 US Olympic Trials. David coached a number of high school athletes to the State, Junior National, and National levels. He has over 15 years of experience teaching children, teenagers, and adults how to swim. David’s real passion is helping kids learn how to swim, and how to enjoy the sport that has brought him a lifetime of rewarding experiences. He is also the Director of the Rio Salado Swim Club, one of the largest competitive clubs in the state, and serves as a board member for Arizona Swimming Inc. His expertise has benefited children and adults of all ages and at all levels of aquatic participation.

Together with David’s professionally trained staff, the EVO Swim School will teach swimming as a life-saving skill that no person or family should be without. Our primary goal will be to teach children to be safe around the water. During this process, children and parents will naturally be introduced to an activity that can be fun and provide much needed exercise in a totally new environment...water! As our instruction progresses, new swimming techniques will be introduced with an emphasis on being safe, having fun, staying fit, and eventually swimming for competition.

The EVO Way

Today there are more and more choices when it comes to swimming instruction, however at EVO Swim School swimming has evolved. EVO Swim School is the premier school to master swimming goals at every level of competency. EVO is elevated above the rest, and here's how:

Understanding the Big Picture

Our services provide instruction for every person at every level of aquatic instruction. From babies learning to swim all the way to helping many of our competitive simmers obtain college scholarships. Our ultimate goal would be to have the pleasure of teaching your child how to swim for safety first, then for backyard fun, then for fitness, and finally for competition.

Our Facility

Our state-of-the-art facility is designed with both students and parents in mind. The pool is designed with "rim flow" gutters, providing supervisors and viewers with an unobstructed view and clam waters during lessons. Our viewing room caters to a parent's busy life style offering free wi-fi in addition to a clear view of everything being taught in the water. Our play area gives Mom and Dad a break when brothers and sisters might be along for the ride. But the best part, is that everything is indoors, so you can beat the Arizona heat with air conditioning!

Disciplined Instruction

EVO Swim School is in no means a boot camp, but a great learning environment that allows students a steady, consistent approach to understanding how to develop the right habits. These teaching techniques make our students safe, efficient and strong swimmers. This disciplined instruction challenges your child, which supports their physical, mental and emotional health. Your child learns coordination and begins to understand the value of physical work and the persistence to succeed. This challenge creates an inward satisfaction that kids can't get from playing video games or watching tv.

The Three Month Challenge

Put EVO Swim School to the challenge! We have a special three month challenge where we place a child with little or no current swimming skill into a smaller, more dedicated learning environment that allows the student more dedicated instruction during this crucial stage in their progression. While this class is more expensive than our larger learning environments, we guarantee by the end of three months your child will be able to swim a length of ten to fifteen feet with rolls to their back for breath. If this skill is not achieved, we will continue to teach your child in the same smaller class environment at the larger class price.

The Rio Salado Swim Club

EVO Swim School is the only swim school in the valley that manages a swim club. The Rio Salado Swim Club is where new swimmers become great athletes. Once your student has completed the Advanced swim class, they are eligible to become part of the Rio Pre-competitive squad. At the Rio Salado Swim Club competition is taken to the next level, allowing your student to compete with some of the best swimmers in Arizona and the country. Many of the top high school swimmers in the state train with our team and go on to swim in college.
