Since 2003, Calphin Swim Academy has delivered millions of swim lessons to tens of thousands of children aged 3 – 16. We are passionate about turning non-swimmers into GOOD swimmers. Our unique curriculum emphasizes mastery of swimming skills for all swim levels from beginners to racers. More than water safety, we teach children how to swim with good stroke habits and to swim the right way. We are one of the best swim schools and an innovative leader in the industry. Founded by an Olympic medalist, Calphin has developed its own unique systems, such as:
- A comprehensive, mastery-based system distilled from 3 decades of experience in swim coaching.
- “Coach Wang” (Ms. Xiaohong Wang) was an Olympic silver medalist in 200 meters butterfly in 1992, and a champion in 1991 World Cup Final in 100 and 200 meters. She has been a member of American Swim Coach Association( ASCA ), as its Level 4 Coach – the highest Level 5, is for coaching Olympic swimmers. She is one of the top-notch swim coaches in the industry.
- Each of our swim houses has a two-pool system to accommodate both entry and advanced level swimmers. All pools are heated year round.
- Our swim coaches trained and certified by Calphin offer customized group lessons of small, medium and large sizes, to create a peer environment for support and stimulation. We also provide 1-on-1 private lessons.
- Calphin Swim Academy is operated with technology and professional business management. Calphin’s co-founder & Coach Wang’s husband, Joseph He, has an MBA and was an IT professional manager. Combining Coach Wang’s passion and expertise with Joe’s business management is the secret recipe for Calphin’s 20% annual growth in the past two decades.
“Calphin is a bridge between non-swimmers and GOOD swimmers.”
“We also feed local swim teams with well-trained competitive swimmers.”
“We offer stroke-refinement for both pre-competitive and competitive swimmers (“the Dolphins”).
“Our instructions are customized at each student’s level, in either group or private lessons. For example, our own ‘Parallel Coaching Method’ leaves no student sitting on a bench in a group lesson, to wait for a 5-minute ‘1-on-1 coaching,’ – everyone practices with guidance while one student is receiving individualized attention.”
“Safety is our top priority. We uphold a very high safety standard. We train and certify American Red Cross lifeguards.”
“Our high quality lessons are competitively priced and value-packed. We offered sibling discounts and referral rewards.”
“Children are malleable, it is important for them to swim the right way EARLY ON. Calphin graduates are competent and ready to compete in ANY local swim meets.”
“My son loved swimming but couldn’t swim fast. Three coaches tried to correct his bad habits without much success. After several months, we came to Calphin and Coach Wang spent 45 minutes with him and fixed everything. Now he is a top swimmer on his swim team.”
“If Coach Wang cannot fix it, nobody can! All coaches here are trained by Coach Wang, and we teach kids how to swim the Calphin Way.”
“I’ve been a swim coach for 10 years. Kids trained at Calphin are refined in their strokes and have a much better chance to become good competitive swimmers.”
“Many of our good Varsity and Junior Varsity swimmers are previously trained at Calphin.”
(Coach Wang🙂 “ Kids and swimming, putting these two together is my endless joy. Swimming became the center of my life since I was ten.
It is so satisfying to see children scared of water eventually falling in love with swimming.”
(Joe He:) “ We are a team. We are proud to see children thrive and contribute to a healthy community.
Back in 2003 when my wife and I first started, we leased two pools in Silicon Valley, and started a year-round weekend-only swim lesson program. For eight years, we never had any weekends off!
We custom-built our first swim house with two pools in Fremont back in 2008.
Then we built the second swim house in Dublin.
We love what we do. Giving your children confidence and joy is the purpose of Calphin.”
