Company Description

Water Wings Swim School is a year-round swim school for both children and adults.

Owned and operated by Avi and Tracy Shafshak, we opened our first location in April

2003, located at the Merry hill private school in Las Vegas, Nevada. We currently have

thirteen indoor facilities in Nevada, California, Texas and Idaho. We believe that a year-

around approach to swimming reinforces all the skills needed to become a relaxed and

confident lifelong swimmer. Our program recommends to most of our clients to come in

once or twice a week in a small group setting, and that they do this on a year-round

basis. This consistent and continuous exposure to the water is the key to making

swimming an enjoyable and beneficial part of your family's lives. A swimmer of any age

(3 months to adult) and any ability level can enter our program and find an appropriate

class at any time of the year.

We provide swim instruction to our community that builds confidence and develops

safety skills in a student-centered environment. Every day is different, with opportunities

to make lasting impressions engaging children and families. This is a diverse, inclusive

and supportive workplace.
