About X-Cel Swimming

DeNunzio Pool	Dillon Pool

X-Cel Swimming provides a comprehensive youth swimming program for all levels of competitive swimming, from novice to National level athlete. X-Cel's focused workouts with trained, qualified coaches give each swimmer the opportunity to achieve his or her highest potential. Each swimmer develops physically, emotionally and mentally, schooled in the values of good sportsmanship and teamwork.

X-Cel Swimming is a USA Swimming team founded in 1995.  The program is led by Head Coach Lucy Le, five time Chinese National Champion and former Olympic Team Member. X-Cel provides a core program of competitive short course swimming from September to March, and long course swimming from April to the end of July. 

Swimmers in the core program are divided into five different levels based on age and ability.  Swimmers in the youngest level should be able to swim a lap without difficulty.  Level 1 swimmers practice four days a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  Swimmers in Level 2 and Level 3 practice five days a week, and swimmers in Level 4 and Level 5 practice six days a week. For complete details, please click X-Cel level descriptions.

In addition to the core programs, we offer three supplemental programs: a fall High School "Warm-Up" Swim Program (which runs September through early November), a fall Stroke and Turn Clinic (which also runs September through early November), and a Spring Pre-PASDA Program (which runs April through early June).

Our core short course and long course programs swim at DeNunzio pool and Dillon pool on the campus of Princeton University.  The supplemental fall preparatory program for high school swimmers is also based at DeNunzio pool at Princeton University.  The supplemental spring pre-PASDA program is based at Princeton University.
