Current Swimmer Registration
All swimmers who are in the pool swimming with us in August can make their group selection. We do require even the groups with no multiple time options to do a group selection as it confirms the swimmer's intention to swim with Nitro in the Fall.
Please make your selection as soon as possible as spots are allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
There will be no fees involved at this stage. You will be invoiced for the annual fees on Sept 1.
Families who do not make a selection during this time will need to register at the open registration on Aug 18th.

 Why You Should Be Glad Your Kid Picked Swimming

Coach Tasia's favorite stroke is the Butterfly.

Zach joined our team at the end of 2013, and he has been a great addition to our staff. He has really stepped it up and is great at teaching all swimmers. Zach enjoys staying active and working on his father's ranch. He has been swimming since he was in elementary school. Zach is currently attending Austin Community College
"I enjoy helping kids, seeing them grow, and improve. I enjoy swimming and I used to be on a swim team when I was young. My favorite strokes are Breaststroke and Freestyle. Nitro is a great place to learn how to swim and to work!" - Zach
Anya - Bee Cave
Anya has been working at Nitro as an instructor for group lessons and Parent/tot since March of 2011 and has a Psychology Degree from Southwestern University.

Alithia-Cedar Park
Alithia joined the Cedar Park staff at the beginning of this year, and we are very lucky to have her! Even though we have only had her for a short time, she has fit right into our team. She has not only excelled in teaching group lessons, but she is also teaching Parent/Tot classes as well! Alithia has been married to her husband Adam for seventeen years, and they are parents to twin 15 year old daughters, as well as ten and nine year old daughters. Alithia loves learning, especially learning alongside her children while at home.
"Working at Nitro has been a wonderful place to encourage children and adults learn a life skill that I feel is so important. One of my favorite things to teach is floating. I get such a kick out of seeing the freedom that comes with the confidence of being in the water while floating." - Alithia

Inspiration with Nitro Swim
The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.

~Malcolm S. Forbes
You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.
