Gold Medal Swim School began its journey with humble roots, starting in an old industrial building with a pool that might have been mistaken for a bathtub. Founded by 2x Olympian Mike Troy and led by 2x Olympic Coach Mike Walker, our mission has always been clear: to build swimming skills the right way from the very beginning while ensuring that the experience is enjoyable and engaging for every child.

At Gold Medal Swim School, we believe that learning to swim is not just about mastering strokes; it’s about fostering a love for the water, building confidence, and ensuring safety. Our approach emphasizes that if we prioritize what’s best for the kids, success will naturally follow—not just for our students but for our school as a whole.

Our Philosophy
From day one, our motto has been simple yet powerful: “If we do what is best for the kids, the business will always work out.” This philosophy shapes everything we do, from our curriculum to our instructors' training. We understand that each child is unique, and our programs are designed to cater to varying skill levels, ensuring that every swimmer progresses at their own pace in a supportive environment.

Expert Instruction
Led by our founder, Mike Troy, and our owner, Mike Walker, our team comprises highly trained instructors who are passionate about swimming and teaching. With backgrounds in competitive swimming and coaching, our staff is dedicated to creating a nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe to explore and learn. Our instructors use positive reinforcement, fun activities, and proven teaching techniques to help children gain confidence in the water.

A Fun, Safe Environment
Safety is our top priority at Gold Medal Swim School. We maintain a clean, well-supervised facility, and all our instructors are trained in CPR and first aid. Our low student-to-instructor ratio ensures that each child receives personalized attention, fostering a safe and engaging learning environment.

Community Involvement
We are proud to be part of the local community and believe in giving back. Throughout the years, Gold Medal Swim School has partnered with local organizations to promote water safety and provide swim lessons to underserved populations. We strive to make swimming accessible to everyone and instill a love for the water in all our students.
