- Competitive Swim Team
The Pikes Peak Athletics competitive swim team is a USA Swimming registered team and was founded in order to provide unique training opportunities for athletes in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We at Pikes Peak Athletics believe strongly in alternative training modalities such as running, calisthenics, strength and conditioning, video review and other out-of-water training, which sets us apart from traditional swimming programs.
In addition to this unique training philosophy, the coaches feel strongly that in order to maximize the performance of each athlete, individual attention and a personal approach to teaching is paramount. No matter what the ability level of the participant, the staff is dedicated to focusing on the needs of individuals, not just the fastest athletes on the team. We are sure athletes and parents alike will be pleased with the whole-person approach to training that we feel so strongly about.
