Meet Jim Booth
I strongly believe that swimming should be fun. When kids are having a great time, they progress faster and become great swimmers.
Our teachers constantly challenge our students in ways that help them explore the water while learning the fundamentals of great swimming. Over fifty years of experience has taught us that learning correctly in the beginning leads to lifelong success. Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect!
My family had me in the water as a young child, before I could walk. I don't remember a time when I wasn't swimming. It was a fun and memorable family tradition that I hope to share with your family. This is why I love the Parent/Baby classes. From four months and up, these initial experiences in the water help create a lifelong appreciation for the water.
This is not just a business for me. I greatly enjoy meeting the students and their parents. I'm always available to answer questions or chat about swimming and your child's lessons. If you're a parent from another swim school, or looking to get your kiddo in the water for the first time, please feel free to call me anytime at (831) 722-3500.

We are currently hiring swim instructors for both our Watsonville locations.
Ideally, we like to hire teachers to work for us LONG TERM. We are looking for someone who is self-motivated and committed who will help grow the swim program.
