40 Years of Teaching Swim Lessons and Coaching Swim Teams

Our swim program is based on Steve Wallen’s teaching philosophy, which has been developed over 40 years of teaching swim lessons and coaching swim teams. Steve’s son Kaleb is co-owner and has followed in his father’s footsteps in his work-ethic and passion for teaching swim lessons. Steve and Kaleb were both collegiate swimmers at the NCAA Division I level, Steve at Chico State University, and Kaleb at the University of California, Davis. When Kaleb graduated from college in 2007, they decided to go into business together in an effort to turn their passion for and experience in the sport into a world-class swim institute.

Individually Trained and Supervised Instructors by Steve and Kaleb

All instructors employed at Steve Wallen Swim School are individually trained and supervised by Steve and Kaleb, in order to meet their demanding standards and maintain their vision. Using their extensive knowledge and experience in the field and small student to teacher ratios, they have the ability to tailor their lessons to meet the specific needs of each individual student. Whether the student is a 3-month-old infant or an adult entering the water for the first time, our instructors can design a program to maximize their progress and create confidence in the water.
