History

Evolution Swim Academy came to life when Founder Felipe Delgado realized the demand for quality swim instruction. In 2005, Felipe started teaching young swimmers and crafting the Evolution Swim Academy curriculum and experience. Although updated many times, the curriculum’s core teachings are still valid today.

Felipe started his teachings in community pools on a part-time, seasonal basis. In 2011, he decided to leave his corporate job and focus 100% of his time teaching lifesaving skills to swimmers of all ages. In 2014, after three years of traveling the country and doing extensive research, Felipe Delgado opened Evolution Swim Academy in Mission Viejo.
