About US

MNG Swim Club is a community-based swim program created to support Mongolian-American families in the Des Plaines and Cook County area. Many children in our community have limited exposure to swimming. Our club was founded to help children learn essential water safety skills, improve their swimming ability, and feel confident around water.

"We believe swimming is an important life skill that every child should have."

Youth Swim Program

Our Youth Swim Program is designed for beginner and early-intermediate swimmers ages 7–12. Swimmers participate in 2–3 practices per week with small group instruction, helping them gain skills and confidence in the water.

The program focuses on water safety and survival skills, learning basic swim strokes, building confidence, and fostering a positive learning environment. Practices are held at local community pools in Des Plaines, offering fun and safe instruction to help each child feel comfortable and enjoy swimming.
