Once upon a time, in the charming state of Connecticut, nestled between New York and Rhode Island, lived a group of extraordinary kids known as the "Splashtacular Swimmers". Connecticut, a magical land of endless beauty, wrapped in a sparkling blanket of autumn leaves, snow-dusted winters, blooming springs and sunlit summers, was the perfect place for these water wizards. These kids weren't just any ordinary swimmers; they were Connecticut's greatest, splashing their way through every river, lake, and pool that could fit their flippers. Their leader, a buoyant boy named Bob, was no bigger than a beluga but swam quicker than a quokka can climb. Bob had a slick, shiny head which he claimed made him swim faster. The Splashtacular Swimmers could be found at sunrise, cutting through the calm waters of the Connecticut River like hot knives through ice cream. They held races in Lake Compounce, leaving trails of laughter and light-hearted competition in their wake. Even during the chilly winter days, they'd plunge into the indoor pools, their chattering teeth turned into roars of laughter once they were under the heated water. They were a diverse group, hailing from the bustling cities of Hartford and New Haven, the tranquil countryside of Litchfield Hills, and the shoreline towns of Mystic and New London. But despite their different backgrounds, they all shared one thing in common: a love for swimming that was as deep as the Long Island Sound itself. One might say the Splashtacular Swimmers were as much a part of Connecticut as its lush green landscapes, picturesque lighthouses, and delightful lobster rolls. Indeed, the state wouldn't be quite the same without Bob and his band of buoyant buddies, who splashed their way right into the heart of Connecticut.

We have highly experienced coaches and mentors who nurture the children and help them reach their full potential. Since 2007, we have had the pleasure of helping over 30,000 young people and have programs running in many states across the US. The idea for ALM Sports came from Alvin Murray, our managing director. With a wealth of experience playing, studying and working in the US and overseas, Alvin created an organization with a team of passionate coaches, teachers, mentors and entrepreneurs. Together, they share the same vision and determination to make a real difference. Our ultimate mission is to generate enough income to offer free programs to deprived children in the US and vulnerable children in other countries. As we continue to grow, we are hoping to expand into other states within America and eventually become an international organization.
