Atlanta Swim Academy has been family owned and operated since 1985 and has grown from one pool to three indoor heated pools, and it also includes a retail store. The program offers a non-competitive group called SwimFIT and a Baby Splash class that introduces the next generation of swimmers and gets parents proactive about water safety. Families can use a mobile app to get news, view class schedules, and schedule make-ups.
Atlanta Swim Academy has provided a year-round curriculum since 1985, added Pool 1 in 2000, started Camp H2O in 2001, and joined the United States Swim School Association in 2006 when it parted with scuba to focus strictly on swim lessons. Pool 3 was built in 2008, when an official USA Swimming Team was started, SwimFIT was created in 2014, and the Baby Splash class was added in 2015. Hours were extended and classes added in 2019, the facility closed for 10 weeks in March 2020 due to the global pandemic and reopened in June 2020, reached 500+ Google reviews in 2021, contributed to Georgia’s “Model Aquatic Safety Plan” under Izzy’s Law in 2024, continued a canned food drive tradition started over 30 years ago in 2024, and celebrated 40 years in business and surpassed 1,000 Google reviews in 2025.
Owner Brad Grzelka serves on the Board of Directors for the United States Swim School Association, entered his 3rd year on the Board in 2022, and has served on USSSA committees for at least six years as of 2022. Brad assisted with the Spring Workshop Committee from 2016–2019 and became chair of the Community Impact Committee with USSSA in 2018.
Atlanta Swim Academy states that it works on reinforcing critical safety skills that will last a lifetime and strives to improve self-esteem and confidence by overcoming fears, achieving goals, and developing gross motor skills and coordination in all children, especially infants. Atlanta Swim Academy is described as “Atlanta’s Premier Swim School,” joined the United States Swim School Association in 2006, started an official USA Swimming Team in 2008, and, as a USSSA member, contributed to Georgia’s “Model Aquatic Safety Plan” under Izzy’s Law.
Atlanta Swim Academy has been part of the East Cobb community since 1985 and has a canned food drive tradition spanning over 30 years. Ron and Brad Grzelka collected donations for local food drives in 1995, and in 2024 Brad and his dad continued this tradition by collecting donations for local food drives. The program often participates in events for charity and giving back to the community, such as canned food drives and fundraisers, and Brad’s role as chair of the Community Impact Committee with USSSA in 2018 was to help the association and other swim schools give back.
Parents have shared that their children had fun and learned a lot in their first lesson with Coach David, that the staff attends to needs quickly and accurately with dedication, and that instructors show patience, explain lessons in detail, and include fun games for kids. Other parents report that their children have made great progress, that instructors show TLC and patience, and that three young children ages 4, 6, and 8 received personal attention and encouragement from the instructors.
