Dan Kittelson, Owner

Dan Kittelson has been a teacher and mentor to children in the pool since 1990.  His ability to connect with young people has been witnessed in the thousands of children he has taught to swim.  The passion that Dan brings to the youth swim community can be seen in the contribution of a warm water, state-of-the-art facility in Fitchburg.  Dan has received 8 awards from the National Swim School Association and is recognized as one of the top 5 instructors in the state of Wisconsin.  Dan is the only swim instructor to have received the prestigious Top-Notch Teacher Award from WISC-TV for his excellent teaching practices.  His innovative and award-winning curriculum is a driving force behind the success of the program.
