About Us

The Atlantis School of Swim Inc. was established in 1992 by Program Director, Julyana Colangelo.  Although located in Oakville, Ontario, we also serve clients from the Burlington, Stoney Creek, Milton and Mississauga areas.  Atlantis School of Swim began as a seasonal business and due to client demand expanded in 2001 to offer a full range of programs year-round. 

Atlantis School of Swim is a family owned and family oriented swim school. Our staff are a diverse group of individuals who have two things in common .... we love kids and we love swimming!  Most of our employees are part-time and when they are not enjoying their work at Atlantis School of Swim they are furthering their education, working at their other jobs as teachers, healthcare workers, early childhood educators, national level coaches or taking care of their own families at home.  This diversity rounds out our school as we bring lots of experience to our classes. 

A Year-Round Approach to swimming is encouraged at Atlantis School of Swim.  Swimming a few weeks during the summer each year is expecting a lot.  Younger swimmers or swimmers dealing with a fear of the water need time, consistency and repitition to develop a solid foundation of swimming skills.  This takes time and practice. Most of our clients swim once or twice a week year-round.  This consistent and relaxed exposure to the water is key and allows swimmers to better retain skills gained.  Learning a life skill like swimming takes time and even the best swimmers in the world practice regularly.
