Elevation Athletics - Louisville, Colorado

We joined EA a little over a year ago when we moved to Boulder. Both our kids have been club swimming for 6 years so we knew we wanted a club with excellent coaches, solid programming, and healthy social environment. We found all of that at EA.

Both our kids (16yo boy and 14 yo girl) are making progress, being challenge, and having fun. Coach Eric is very attentive and responsive, and worked closely with our oldest to maintain training without jeopardizing healing when he broke his colar bone last winter.

I have also been impressed with the out of the pool training (gym and dryland) as well as the education in relation to mindset, nutrition, and goal setting. The coaches meet with swimmers individually to set goals for the season and follow up with them to ensure they are progressing.

Highly recommend EA if you are looking for a swim team that goes above and beyond!

EA has great coaches for all levels and teaches good techniques. The coaches are very supportive and want to help kids achieve their goals. EA has a great swim program that will challenge and improve swimming skills. My son really enjoys being part of the team.

My son Luke has recently started with Elevation Athletics after gaining some positive and productive coaching over the summer from one of Elevation Athletics former swimmers, who currently swims at a D2 college. His eagerness to attend each practice and the positive attitude he displays post-practice are the most noticeable pieces of feedback I have observed that tells me he is where he is supposed to be. I look forward to watching his progress as his swim meets begin here shortly.

My son has swam with EA since Covid. He is so happy to swim with this team year round. The coaching staff provides an environment that extends beyond just winning. They are about life's lessons, being responsible young adults, taking on responsibility.
My son is not one of the 'fast' kids but enjoys the camaraderie of the entire 15+ team and feels very supported. Being on this team has made him realize how much swim means to him. As he enters his senior year, his goal is to be able to swim in college, even if it is a club team.
As a parent, I am grateful for what the team has given to my son.

The EA program has helped my high school daughter make progress in both swimming and overall strength in just a few months. Eric definitely understands how to tap into each kids’ motivation. He is also taking steps to continue to raise the program to a higher level.

Outstanding organization & leadership for young athletes. Purposeful emphasis on youth development with a holistic approach to growth. Moving to Elevations from another swim team represented some concern for our son. Eric and his team welcomed us as a family and quickly integrated our son into the program.

Our 9 year old son has been swimming with EA for a bit over a year now. The coaches have great expectations for the kids - they're there to build as both athletes and citizens.

Elevation Athletics (EA) was created to improve the quality of how athletes train, compete and live their lives. This type of approach was sorely lacking in the northern Denver metro area. EA is a new team that started in September 2019. In the first month EA had over 100 swimmers join the team. These are swimmers that felt their club team was failing them. They came to EA to thrive.
EA sent 8 swimmers to 2018 Winter JR Nationals. Five of the 8 did not have Winter JR National times until joining EA. EA placed 49th out of over 200 teams in the US, with only 8 swimmers. EA is sending 48 swimmers to Speedo Sectionals at the end of March 2019. These are swimmers who have actual cuts and not just swimming relays. The majority of these swimmers did not have sectional times prior to joining EA. It was the EA coaches who took the time to understand each swimmer and provide both developmental and emotional support. Swimmers thrive when they come to EA.
EA coaches come with tremendous experience and continue to research new techniques to keep swimmers motivated. EA coaching staff consists of coaches who have coached at Division I colleges and at the National level. The coaches have access to a fabulous network allowing EA to obtain the latest training techniques and assist swimmers who want to continue swimming in college.
Yes, there are teams in the northern Denver metro area who will claim EA “stole” their swimmers. If you ask the families who left their club to join EA, they will tell you their children are in a positive and supportive enviroment. This was not the case at their prior club team.
