About us

At Banks Aquatic Coaching, our focus is simple: Learn to Swim. Train to Win. We believe swimming is more than just a skill — it’s a foundation for safety, confidence, and lifelong fitness. Our mission is to provide safe, personalized instruction that meets every swimmer where they are.

Coach Jay Xavier Banks brings extensive experience to every lesson. With 7 years of competitive swimming, 4 years as a certified swim instructor, and 4 years serving as a lifeguard with the Ocean City, Maryland Beach Patrol, Jay combines technical expertise with a strong emphasis on water safety.

Lessons are taught in a private, one-on-one setting to give each swimmer the attention they deserve. From helping young children feel safe in the water to guiding adults and athletes toward advanced skills and endurance, Banks Aquatic Coaching is dedicated to building strong, confident swimmers at every level.
