DACA Swim School Policies And Procedures
The DACA Swim School was founded in 1996. Our primary purpose is to teach infants, children and adults to swim properly.
​
To that end, DACA has developed a proven method of teaching that ensures skill development, a love of the water and a healthy respect for water safety.
DACA instructors are trained on site, in the classroom and in the pool, for not less than 30 hours of intensive training. Our deck supervisors assist our teachers, provide customer service and ensure safety on the pool deck. The Swim School deck staff is certified in both CPR and First Aid.
Our state of the art DACA Swim Center offers two pools heated to 90 degrees at all times with adjoining locker rooms.
There is a maximum of four students per class with private and semi- private lessons available. Parent child classes can consist of up to six students and six adults. Classes can begin at three months of age.
DACA offers an accelerated learn to swim-program during the summer, year round Splash Classes (drop in classes), and a Pre-Competitive program that includes nights and weekends. We also offer specialty programs for adults and for children with special needs.
​
The DACA Pre-Competitive Program is an introductory program designed to improve stroke and turn technique in preparation for the DACA Competitive Team. Small class sizes of no more than seven swimmers of similar ability allow for first-class instruction that is both focused and personalized. Instruction in the DACA Pre-Competitive Program provides a technical skill base, igniting a love of the water and inspiring our swimmers to continue on in all levels of the DACA Competitive Team.
The award winning DACA Swim School has been the premier swim school in the Bay Area for more than twenty years. For quality, time tested instruction at any age, there is no better choice than the DACA Swim School.

WHY DACA?
Once known solely as an internationally ranked swim team, De Anza Cupertino Aquatics (DACA) has developed into the most comprehensive Aquatics Program in the United States.
DACA provides unparalleled instruction and state of the art facilities in every program it offers. Our complete programming includes: Learn-to-Swim and Special Needs instruction for all ages, Swim Team, Pre-Competitive Swimming for ages 5 - 14 and Fitness Swim for adults.
DACA coaches and instructors are National, Regional and Local award winners at every level. DACA conducts its own specialized training programs for all staff to ensure consistency, certification and expertise in its programs.
The ultimate goal at DACA is to provide a quality experience for every DACA member from beginner to Olympian.
Philosophy
The DACA philosophy centers on the concept that Swimming is the healthiest activity for all family members.
Our world is surrounded by water. Contact with pools, lakes, rivers and oceans is inevitable. Our goal is to introduce our customers to an environment that promotes awareness of both the dangers and benefits inherent in that contact.
Recognizing that people learn in varied ways and in different time frames, the DSS program is dedicated to small classes and stepping stone progressions. The DSS instruction model utilizes a past, present, future method that emphasizes review, repetition and introduction of new skills in every lesson.
Learning to swim with the CORRECT skills can lead to a lifetime of fitness, water safety and enjoyment for the entire family.
History
De Anza Cupertino Aquatics (DACA) was founded in 1981 as a swim team. Its Mission Statement was “to motivate youth to achieve their fullest potential through swimming.”
While this mission remains true today, DACA is no longer solely a swim team or focused exclusively on youth programs. In 1993, DACA expanded its offerings with a Pre- Competitive Program for children 6-14 years. In 1996, the DACA Swim School opened and began teaching infants through adults how to swim. An Aquatics Exercise Program for seniors and a Summer Swim Program were also introduced.
Current DACA programs include Adaptive and Special Needs Instruction as well as Adult Fitness and Lap Swimming.
Our internationally renowned Swim Team produces world class student- athletes and coaches that represent DACA across the globe as members of USA National teams. In addition to competing for top team honors at every level, DACA swimmers have been awarded athletic scholarships to colleges across the country.
