Welcome to Chico Water Sprites

Haley Clark

You have never seen lessons like these before!   Our infant classes are chock full of songs and games that actually teach babies to swim.  Our roots in Olympic swimming mean that our stroke development is unmatched.  Our warm indoor facility was designed to meet the needs of both parents and children.  And our Instructors are year round educated professionals.  If you haven’t come by to watch our lessons, you can’t even fathom how much your kids are missing!

About Haley Clark PDF Print E-mail

Haley Clark is a Chico native and a mother of two. After retiring from the sport to have children in 2004 she began searching for a way to combine her two favorite things: babies and swimming!  Swim lessons were the perfect venue for her energies.  She believes in continuing education and because of this, her program is constantly evolving to keep up with the latest research and innovations.  She has done extensive research in an attempt to bring the very best to the children of Chico.

Her goal as a swim teacher is simple: To provide the most jam packed, valuable half hour that a kid can have in a week.  While short term goals are to teach children to swim as quickly and efficiently as possible she is hoping that they leave her classroom with skills that will last a lifetime.  Manners, respect, friendship, patience, listening skills, confidence, independence, and of course fitness are all practiced at each lesson. 

As a swimmer she has 18 years of daily experience.  Her accolades include an athletic scholarship to UC Berkeley, Pac 10 Swimmer of the Year, four National Championship titles, four World Championship titles, one world record, one Olympic silver medal, twenty three NCAA All-American titles, and numerous American records.
