SwimJim At LA Fitness Marq*E

Even as a young Texan boy our Founder & C.E.O., Jim Spiers had swimming in his blood. He was swimming and diving at the age of 3. At the age of 17, Jim began teaching, coaching and managing pools. While Houston was considered home, New York was in his heart. Jim packed up, and brought his unique brand of childhood aquatic education to the Big Apple. Always a student of the sport, and wanting to improve his knowledge and skills, Jim would travel annually to the training headquarters of United States Olympians- the Olympic Training Center. It was there he cultivated a relationship with US Olympian, Catherine Fox. Both with the focus of safer swimming and elite swim education began developing and, still to this day, refining SwimJim’s aquatic programming for children and adults. Now, 40 years later, Jim is still in the water…teaching! And 20 years later, SwimJim is still the leading aquatics education program for thousands of children and adults in New York and Houston, Texas.
