TEAM CULTURE & HISTORY
OUR HISTORY
One word best describes the Falfins—family. Our team has been around since 1963 and from its earliest beginnings, it has been a group dedicated not only to swimming, but to each other. We pride ourselves on being hard working, inclusive, and kid-focused. We have grown from a small team of children of military personnel back in the 60s and 70s, to a medium team of over 150 swimmers today. Throughout our growth, our focus has always been on athlete development and growing our swimmers from novices to seniors.
OUR TEACHING PHILOSOPHY & CULTURE
Falfins has a tremendous staff with over 100 years of combined coaching experience. Our unique training system takes swimmers through a developmental progression focused on technique and skill development at each and every stage. The Falfins take our coaches promise seriously; we are proud of how our kids perform in the water. Most important though, we are proud that our kids are good sports, good students, and good people.
