Where the ladder stops being a ladder

Vaquitas and Seals are the last two rungs of the learn-to-swim ladder, and they exist to hand a swimmer over to the team ready. By the time a child gets there, the strokes are legal and the turns are honest — what changes on the team is the volume, the clock and the calendar.

The team trains at the Bravo pools, where the lanes are full length: Florida International University in North Miami, and the Miramar Aquatic Complex. Our aim is an environment that encourages, enables and inspires excellence through constant improvement.

What you get

What comes with every session

Officially sanctioned

MSA Team is USA Swimming certified, which is what makes the times count and the meets available.

A season with no end

Practices run year round rather than in terms, alongside a seasonal lesson program for swimmers still coming up.

Full-length water

Training happens at Bravo Swimming — FIU in North Miami and the Miramar Aquatic Complex — on the same deck as the lesson program.

A route in from our own pool

Around nine in ten of our regular swimmers reach team entry level. Vaquitas and Seals are the two levels that get them there.
