The World of Sport

Sport has become more and more relevant as a social practice as the years move on. Lines are drawn between sport and physical health, education, work, leisure, mental health – the list goes on. This has seen the importance of sport transcend the confines of the sports field.

We certainly believe that the dedication and commitment required to personally achieve in swimming also provides our young swimmers with tools such as organization, self-management, support and empathy. But while as an armature sport swimming is highly competitive in nature, at Phoenix Aquatics enjoyment of the sport and of the team is paramount.
