Welcome to Martinez Swim School: A Legacy of Excellence and Safety in Swimming

​

      Founded in 1979 by Miguel Martinez in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, and relocating to McAllen, Texas, in 2003, Martinez Swim School stands as a beacon of excellence in swim instruction and water safety. As a family-owned and operated business, we have dedicated ourselves to teaching life-saving skills in the water with a blend of passion, expertise, and a time-tested curriculum. Our mission is to instill confidence and achieve goals, making us the #1 swimming school in the Rio Grande Valley.

      At the heart of our school is Coach Martinez, whose journey in swim instruction began at the tender age of 15. His early career as a swimming instructor and physical education teacher, combined with his tenure at Dorados School, set the foundation for what Martinez Swim School would become. His innovative curriculum and teaching methods, developed over nearly four decades, ensure that every student receives the highest quality of swim education. Our intensive two-week courses are designed to fast-track learning, acknowledging that every student who learns to swim is a life saved.

      Our team, led by Coach Martinez, his wife Coach Milka and their two daughters, embodies a family's commitment to water safety and education. All instructors at Martinez Swim School are trained under the direct guidance of Coach Martinez, ensuring uniformity and excellence in the teaching method. We pride ourselves on being a family dedicated to all of our students, offering water safety with a wave of fun. Join us at Martinez Swim School, where we don't just teach swimming—we save lives.
