Your work history: How long have you been involved? What led you to this type of work?
SWSS has been teaching swimming lessons for over 40 years and has helped more than 30,000 swimmers enjoy the sport of swimming and be safe around the water. Our family owned and operated swim school started humblely in Steve Whalen’s backyard pool and has grown to be one of the most respected and popular swim schools in our area. In 2008 we opened our facility in the hills of El Dorado and in 2018 we opened our facility in Roseville to meet demand and provide year-round swimming instruction for our students.
What is your business philosophy?
Our philosophy is designed to teach students the swimming skill of life. It is critical that everyone develop the swimming life skills in order to swim independently without any flotation devices or goggles.
What is your biggest inspiration in life or your job? What do you enjoy most about your work?
Our mission is very rewarding! We get tremendous inspiration from our profession in that we teach a life skill that could save someone’s life or help save someone’s life one day.
At Steve Wallen School of Swimming, we firmly believe that students are born with an innate ability to swim; Therefore, we highly recommend introducing water to babies at an early age. From our experience, we have found that students who start swimming lessons for children at an early age tend to get into the water faster as well as learn to enjoy and respect the water more.
Tell us a funny story about your work?
At SWSS, our whole focus is on the customer experience. of the Ribbon and Tootsie menus program to help motivate students for first-class customer service. Not only do we teach swimming lessons and swimming skills, but we also create a fun and positive atmosphere where our clients look forward to visiting. :-). As many of our students know, water in SWSS is magic! Mr. Steve can sometimes be seen during lessons adding more “magic water” to the pool to help motivate the students.
