About this collection
Our coaching philosophy focuses on water safety and long-term skill building rather than just speed. Every instructor on our team holds valid certifications, ensuring that whether you are an adult learning to float or a child preparing for competitive strokes, you are receiving instruction based on proven, safe, and effective training methods.
Our Coaching Philosophy
At Sasthapools, we believe a great coach changes a life. Founded by Ratheesh Raveendran, who serves as the CISCE National Swimming Coordinator, our academy brings professional standards to every lesson. We avoid the bootcamp approach, opting instead for a friendly, easy-going environment where students feel safe to learn. Our coaches are trained to work with all demographics, from infants in parent-child sessions to adults overcoming water phobia.
Quality and Partnerships
We are committed to maintaining high standards in facility and instruction, which is why we value partnerships like our collaboration with Decathlon International. This ensures our environment meets rigorous community and safety expectations. Our pools are clean and well-maintained, offering a mix of outdoor and semi-indoor settings across Bangalore, including key locations like Whitefield and Bannerghatta Road.
Training Structure
We integrate dry-land fitness exercises into our water sessions to improve stamina and core strength, ensuring a holistic approach to swimming. For those looking to compete, our advanced squad training focuses on race tactics, stroke correction, and endurance, while our beginner programs prioritize the basics like breath control and buoyancy. Our goal is to ensure every student walks away feeling stronger, safer, and more confident.
Sasthapools
We are Team SSA, a community of swimmers brought together by a shared love for the water. Whether we are helping a toddler find their buoyancy or training an athlete for a state-level meet, we focus on building confidence one lap at a time.
