Two swimmers of the same age with the same seed times can need opposite things. A program that treats them the same is guessing on at least one of them.
Most athletes train. Few follow a structured development plan. Our work is getting your family out of the confusion and into clarity.
We measure jump height, strength for stage, shoulder health, and how your swimmer moves on land. You see every number. So does she.
The plan is built from your athlete's actual gaps, not from what an average player might need.
For most swimmers that means the strength behind the shoulder, trunk control, and the leg power that decides the start and the walls.
We test again on a schedule and put the before-and-after in front of you. Improvement is shown, not promised.
One system sits underneath every step — the Athlete Academy Standard™ — milestones earned against measured numbers, never given for attendance.
Evaluation Day is the group doorway; an assessment request is the direct one. Either way, the numbers come first.

Everything below runs remotely. Same standard, same coach, wherever your athlete trains.
$199 per month
A structured plan, and a coach who checks the work.
Best for the athlete who trains hard but has never had a plan written for them.
$349 per month
Sport-specific programming with one-to-one coaching time.
Best for the club athlete training year-round who wants to be coached, not just programmed.
$699 per month
The whole development picture, managed across a full season.
Best for the athlete chasing a college roster spot, where preparation has to be managed year-round.
All three run the same system — measure, program to the gaps, re-measure. What changes is how much coaching time comes with it. Billed monthly, cancel any time. Training in person at Performance Academy in Apex is priced by schedule — ask and we'll walk you through it.
Wondering whether it works? See the measured before-and-after numbers from four athletes.
He trained me over thousands of miles, many different weight rooms, quarantines, limited equipment and no equipment, time zones, and a heavy travel schedule. I walked into spring and summer 2021 in the best physical shape possible.
When I needed someone to train me at the highest level possible, work around lingering injuries, and know I have the propensity to overwork myself, the choice was a no brainer. I walked into spring and summer 2021 in the best physical shape possible.
She was a high school student looking to improve her training and her vertical. In small-group training, her vertical increased significantly. What stood out was the whole-person approach — nutrition, weight lifting, aerobic exercise and relaxation. And after she experienced an injury, Aaron provided very specific training to help her return to full participation.
When I entered high school I went back to Aaron for more one-on-one training and an approach more unique to me, given the number of injuries I had sustained. He helped me modify exercises to best fit me as a recovering athlete, so I could keep strengthening the surrounding muscles while the injured ones healed. I was able to perform at my previous level of play from before those injuries.
No. Never. Her club develops the swimming; we develop the athlete the swimming runs on. We fit a small dose around her practice schedule — and in championship season, the dose eases.
It starts from your swimmer’s measured baselines — power, strength for stage, and shoulder health — and it changes when her re-test numbers change. Nothing is prescribed off a chart.
It depends on the right program for your athlete, so we discuss it directly rather than posting a menu. Contact us and you will get plain numbers and zero pressure.
