Steve Wallen, Kaleb Wallen, and Mel Amatulli own and operate Steve Wallen Swim School in El Dorado Hills and Roseville. Together, they have been leaders in the learn-to-swim industry for over 14 years. Steve started SWSS in his backyard pool in Folsom over 40 years ago. In 2008, Steve and his son Kaleb opened their first state-of-the-art indoor, heated pool facility in El Dorado Hills to offer year-round swim instruction to their students. In 2018, Steve and Kaleb brought on their longtime swim instructor, Mel Amatulli to be an owner of a new SWSS location in Roseville. This trio's presence in the community continues to grow as their programs have taught over 50,000 students to swim, including generations of families in the Sacramento area. They take pride in supporting the community they have lived in and continue to raise their families. SWSS continues to stay involved in community events and donate to local schools and recreational activities. Steve and his wife Susy have 4 children and 5 grandchildren and currently reside in El Dorado Hills with their dog, Hallie. Kaleb and his girlfriend Alex have two dogs, Kole and Remy, and a cat, Leo, and reside in El Dorado Hills. Mel and her husband Dennis have one son, Draken, and two dogs Rayne and Boba, and reside in El Dorado Hills.
