Our Story

Evolution Swim Academy began with founder Felipe Delgado’s vision to meet the demand for quality swim instruction. In 2005, Felipe started teaching young swimmers and developing the Evolution Swim Academy curriculum. Although updated over time, the core principles remain true to this day.

What began as part-time, seasonal instruction at community pools transformed into a full-time dedication. In 2011, Felipe left his corporate career to focus on teaching lifesaving swim skills to swimmers of all ages. After extensive research and travel, he opened the first Evolution Swim Academy location in Mission Viejo in 2014.
