Strong strokes, bright smiles.
Star Aquatics is a locally based, family-led swim team helping the youth of Santa Fe learn, grow and thrive through swimming. At Star Aquatics, there's a lane for everyone.
A family team, founded in 2022
Founded in 2022 by Coach Miguel Castillo and his wife Audrey, Star Aquatics is a locally based, family-led swim team dedicated to helping the youth of Santa Fe learn, grow, and thrive through swimming. Joining Coach Miguel on deck are two of his daughters, Coach Jenina and Coach Gabriella. We welcome our new senior advanced coach, Coach Sean. Our coaches all bring energy, encouragement, experience and a love for the sport to every practice.
Star Aquatics is a community where every swimmer is supported to reach their personal best, whether that means building confidence, developing new skills, or competing at meets.
Technique first, endurance second, speed third
Our philosophy is simple. We believe swimmers develop best when they train with intention, heart and a healthy dose of fun. Smiles, laughter and teamwork are part of every practice because when swimmers understand and enjoy the process, they grow stronger, in skill and spirit.
Technique
Swimmers are built one stroke at a time, learning to move with confidence, control and purpose.
Endurance
We emphasize quality over quantity and train with intention.
Speed
Speed comes third, once the stroke and the engine are in place.

Swimming should be accessible to everyone.
Through our outreach program, we make it possible for any child who wishes to swim on a team to do so. Star Aquatics is more than a program, it's a place where confidence, community, and joy are built in every lane. To learn more about our outreach offerings, email Coach Miguel.
