About...
In an effort to support the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, in a way that we are able, the Swimstitute has been working on ways to help those already serving, and those about to dive in.
Water confidence is an essential part of many military careers, in particular special operations.
Although we in no way want to compare what we can do to what you are about to jump into, we believe we can help prepare you.
Whether it is swimming efficiency and/or stamina, combat stroke, finning, mask and snorkel, breath control, treading water, etc., we can help.
We can do intense one on one specific training and coaching, or be a general guide and well directed "kick in the pants".
Finally, if you are looking for an indoor, year round pool you can train in, in any kind of weather, where you are welcomed and applauded for what you are, or are about to accomplish, look no further.
Testimonials...
"Water confidence is one of the most important assessment methods used to determine if Combat Rescue Officer and Pararescue candidates possess the ability to prioritize and execute tasks under the application of stress; a trait that directly translates into effective operations throughout the full
spectrum of personnel recovery operations. This characteristic has been put to the test in maritime environments such as the canals and rivers of Iraq during dive searches, entering the open ocean when stranded vessels or injured sailors are in need (Perfect Storm), or in the flooded streets of hurricane ravaged cities (Katrina). But this quality also carries over to other environments that require an operator of equal composure such as climbing into collapsed structures after an earthquake (Haiti), running into an active fire fight to aid wounded soldiers (Black Hawk Down), or jumping at night from 10K ft to rescue the crew of a crashed helicopter in Afghanistan. In short, we want guys that are good in the pool because the odds are they'll be good everywhere else."

"My training at the Swimstitute helped prepare me mentally and physically for a demanding military course in Pararescue. Scott and the other coaches at the Swimstitute were vital in refining my stroke technique and providing challenging yet fun workouts that allowed me to build my confidence in the water and improve my chances at succeeding in one of the hardest courses the DoD has to offer. Without the expert help I received from Scott and the Swimstitute I would not be where I am today. Thanks Scott!"A1C Kelin Munson
