Little Dolphins Swim Academy-Swim Instruction, Coaching and Teaching Excellence for Parents and Children
Little Dolphins Swim Academy was built on the foundation of owner Chuck Warner’s lifetime commitment to teaching youth and adults swimming. Coach Warner’s leadership as a Rutgers University Head Swimming Coach for 13 years and his 40 year career as a competitive swim coach, fuels his passion for teaching swimming and swim safety, and encouraging youth to embrace a lifetime of swimming excellence.
Little Dolphins Swim Academy Owner and Coach Chuck Warner has coached three USA National Swimming Teams, seven National Swimming Championship Teams and directly contributed to athletes winning Olympic gold medals in swimming.
His highly-regarded summer kids swim camps and clinics, that he operated in New Jersey for over 25 years, led him to establish Little Dolphins Swim Academy 15 years ago near Basking Ridge, to specifically develop swim classes and instruction for all ages, including infants, children, teenagers and adult students.
The culmination of Coach Warner’s effective swim coaching career was being voted into the American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA) Hall of Fame in 2022. Chuck stands as one of only 3 New Jersey swim coaches and one of less than 100 lifetime inductees in the history of the ASCA Hall of Fame.
