He is now considered a proficient back yard swimmer with the ability to swim three widths of our pool (30 yards total) with a strong kick and great breath control. Marcos can also jump from the side, get a breath on his back, and return to the side of the pool as a safety habit. He will be moving to the Sea Lion class to receive an introduction to the freestyle stroke with an emphasis placed on “big arms”. On behalf of Marcos’ instructor, Kelly, and the entire EVO Swim School staff, we say…CONGRATULATIONS!

EVO is hosting another adult tri swim clinic Friday, February 24th from 6:15 to 7:15pm and 7:15 to 8:15pm (if needed) at EVO Swim School in Gilbert.

Just $20 for an hour session that will cover techniques to help you breathe and swim more efficiently in the water. Great for beginners who are new to swimming and need to improve their stroke to compete in a triathlon.

This will also be our first phase 2 clinic for those who have already been through phase one or for those who feel they are more experienced swimmers. Phase two will focus more on mechanics than body position, plus leverage on the water, and flip turns.

Call today to book your spot or complete the “pre-registation” by clicking the button in the upper right corner of the home page. In the “comments” box let us know you want to book the adult tri swim clinic.

The Arizona Department of Health Services has released their annual report for 2009 water-related incidents in Maricopa County.

While progress is being made on the number of drowning each year, one is too many. In 2009 Children 0-4 years of age accounted for 59 of the 103 serious water related incidents, 47 of which occurred in swimming pools. Of the 59 young children, 14 are known to have died (10 due to incidents occurring in pools). We would encourage all parents to read pages 3, 8, 9 & 10 of this report.

We don’t believe in using scare tactics to drive business, but these statics speaks for themselves. Our customers will tell you, we have the very best instruction for children ages 1 – 4 years old.

We also don’t believe in calling any child “water safe”. This would give parents a false sense of security when all children should be supervised around water no matter the conditions. However, our little ones actually swim! We don’t waste time with games or less aggressive teaching techniques. We get down to business and our young students actually learn to swim!
