​

Founded and led by Coach Mei, the school specializes in structured instruction for children and youth, guiding swimmers from foundational water skills through advanced technique and competitive readiness.

A Family Grounded in High-Level Sport

 

Coach Mei Swim School is shaped by a family deeply rooted in competitive athletics and elite training environments.

​

Coach Mei and Coach Li’s two daughters were both high-level competitive swimmers and graduates of Harvard University, where they competed on the Harvard varsity swimming team. During their collegiate careers, they collectively set eight Harvard swimming records, reflecting years of disciplined training and technical excellence.

Beyond swimming, the family has also been involved in elite competition at the national level in other sports, reinforcing a shared understanding of what long-term athlete development truly requires.

​

This perspective informs every class we teach.
