Our Story

Backyard Aquatics was founded by Andy Charlton, a certified swim instructor with close to 5 years of teaching experience. He has a background in competitive swimming, and has loved being in the pool since he was 4 months old. After teaching group classes for 2 years, a number of family friends requested he teach their kids in their own backyard pools. This was the start of backyard aquatics. 

Through his experience teaching different swimming programs, Andy noticed there are 2 things that make a huge difference while learning; a comfortable learning environment, and personalized instruction. With few swimming schools offering these 2 aspects, Andy saw the need to provide convenient 1-on-1 swim instruction.
