Jon Foss’ mother lost her young brother to a drowning incident. She vowed her children would be strong swimmers. Jon went on to become an All American athlete at St. Olaf College. He used his personal NCAA experience and creative coaching style to lead the Eden Prairie Foxjets to seven overall State Chamionships, nine national records, and 4^th place out of 3,300 age group teams. With his teams success, he made a conscious decision to create a system for teaching and training strokes that was unlike anything before. Foss Swim School now teaches 16,000 swimmers a week at their MN and IL locations. Co-​owners, Jon and Susan Foss, and their collection of outstanding staff, have redefined the «swim lesson» experience and proven that their culture is unique and their program gets results.
