The Machine Performance Center

Dan and Paris Jacobs opened the Machine Swim School in 2012.

Inspired by decades of success in the pursuit of excellence for the athletes of Machine Aquatics, they brought their passion for swimming to the Machine Performance Center.

Toddlers as young as a year old, competitive high school swimmers, triathletes training for their next event all gather under the Machine Performance Center in Vienna, Virginia.

Back in 2012, local Vienna residents Paris and Dan Jacobs, known to many in the area for owning the nationally-recognized Machine Aquatics Swim Team, along with partner Nancy Monaghan opened Machine Swim School with the goal of serving the local community with positive and nurturing group swim classes for all ages. The center also continues to offer stroke analysis, now including starts and turns analysis, adult learn to swim, and services for triathlete swimmers.

The Jacobs and Monaghan families are active in their community, with their children having come through the local school systems and swimming on the local swim teams. They are passionate about bringing fitness and wellness to the community. Through her private lessons, Monaghan is known throughout the area as the one to coach even the most reluctant swimmers into the water, bringing a love of swimming to clients of all ages.

“We love our local community, and we’re excited to serve the Vienna area through everything from group swim lessons for preschoolers on up to training triathletes,” Dan Jacobs said. “Seeing kids improve their skills and creating this community space is a dream come true.”
