Meet the Team

In 2019, our journey began in a garage with a team of former swimmers and water polo athletes. We recognized a major gap: no dryland training was truly designed for aquatic athletes. That frustration drove us to create a high-performance service tailored to their unique needs.


Today, our mission remains the same: help athletes pursue their potential, anywhere they are
