What sets NoVa Sports Coach apart from other Learn to swim programs? Our swimmers progress quickly due to our proprietary WAVE technique, which focuses on teaching swimmers the most effective swimming skills from the start. Adult USA Swimming Coaches are IN THE WATER with the class to help guide swimmers into faster learning.
For our youth swimmers, last summer, most of them learned to swim during our summer sessions and went on to join us at the Claude Moore or Dulles South Rec Center pools during the remainder of the year. Many are now advancing to swim on summer or year-round swim teams!
Our adult swimmers, many who came to us with fear of the water and unable to leave the edge of the pool, built incredible confidence last summer with several joining us at the rec center pools at the end of the summer as well. Many have continued swimming as a great form of exercise, while others have gained a life skill they never thought possible. This newfound skill has given them courage and strength that’s translated into other areas of their lives, empowering them to move forward with greater confidence.
All stroke development sessions are conducted in small groups of six or fewer swimmers at Claude Moore Recreation Center in Sterling, VA, Dulles South Recreation Center in South Riding, VA or Ashburn Recreation Center in Ashburn, VA. Parents often seek private lessons due to bad experiences in the past or because their child needs more individualized attention. It's crucial for parents to understand the significant difference between an instructor and a coach. At NoVa Sports Coach, we offer highly trained coaches and we are confident in our value and effectiveness with small group training. If your child doesn’t know how to swim or can’t swim independently, they should enroll in our summer learn to swim program first.

" Coach Tracy is an amazing and very knowledgeable coach. She turns her knowledge of swimming to Magic of Coaching. She is fun and really understands how to help the kids gain their confidence. My daughter was struggling with technique and started taking private lessons with Coach Tracy. After two lessons, my daughter is hungry for more steps to learn. She didn't like butterfly stroke but now she has grown to love it! Thank you Coach Tracy for teaching and coaching my daughter to gain confidence and believe in herself. What YOU DID with her is Billions!!!
I will not hesitate to highly recommend Coach Tracy to anyone."
