HISTORY OF THE 5 CITIES
SWIM
CLUB
The
5 Cities Swim Club was founded in 1984 by Jeffery Purchin. Jeff started working with
children in and out of the water in 1975. He started his own swim school teaching children
at their home pools in 1979 in Southern California.
After receiving his Bachelors degree at San Diego State University in 1981 Jeff continued
working and teaching children. In October of 1984 Jeff started the 5 Cities swim club
by renting pool time at the Arroyo Grande Methodist camp. After ten years of strong
growth the 5 Cities Swim Club out grew of the camp pool and Jeff and Melissa (Jeff's wife)
purchased property in the village of Arroyo Grande. Jeff was able to accomplish his life
long dream of building and owning his own facility. The indoor pool which is
located at 425 Traffic Way in Arroyo Grande opened in October of 1995.
The
Swim Club teaching staff has taught thousands of children on the central coast. Their
main philosophy has always made the swim club a great success--Small classes, Warm Water
(90 Degrees) and continued education on updating the staff on the latest and greatest
techniques in swimming Lessons.
The 5 Cities Swim Club has also always offered other great programs such as Adult and Senior Water Exercise Classes, Lap and Recreational Swimming, Home School PE Classes, Infant & Toddler Swim Classes and the pool is available to rent for parties.
